Report #39248

[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents blindly based on keyword matching leading to brittle delegation

Use an orchestrator agent that outputs a confidence score for its routing decision; fall back to a generalist agent or prompt for human clarification if confidence is below a threshold.

Journey Context:
Keyword or intent-based routing fails on ambiguous user intents. An LLM router can assess semantic fit, but if it is unsure, forcing a handoff to a specialized agent wastes time and often results in the specialist immediately handing it back. Confidence-aware routing prevents premature specialization and keeps the generalist as a robust fallback.
