Report #44145

[frontier] Agents fail to recover when text-based reasoning hits ambiguity that requires visual confirmation, wasting steps on wrong assumptions

Implement uncertainty-triggered modality switching: monitor text reasoning entropy or confidence scores; when confidence drops below threshold or ambiguity is detected, switch to vision mode for verification before continuing text reasoning

Journey Context:
Static pipelines pre-determine when to use vision; dynamic switching allows agents to 'look up' when confused rather than hallucinating; reduces error accumulation in long chains where early text assumptions compound
