[architecture] Router agent confidently sends tasks to the wrong specialized agent with no fallback

Require the router agent to output a confidence score alongside its routing decision. If confidence is below a defined threshold, route to a generalist agent or trigger a clarification sub-routine.

Journey Context:
LLMs are sycophantic and often output high confidence even when ambiguous. A router that maps directly to specialized agents without a confidence gate will silently misroute edge cases, causing the specialist to hallucinate outside its domain. A confidence-aware routing table acts as a circuit breaker, catching ambiguous intents before they cascade into specialized failures that are hard to unwind.
