Report #38920

[synthesis] Agent selects wrong sub-agent or tool increasingly often as user query distribution shifts

Log the cosine similarity score of the top routing choice and alert on the rolling average dropping below 0.85, rather than just logging the final routed destination.

Journey Context:
Semantic routers use embeddings to match user intent to tools/sub-agents. Over time, as users ask questions slightly differently than the router was tuned for, the confidence scores drop. The router still picks the closest match, so no error is thrown, but the agent executes the wrong workflow. Teams only notice when downstream tasks fail or user satisfaction drops weeks later. By monitoring the distance in the embedding space, you catch the drift before it results in a wrong routing decision.
