Report #47554

[architecture] Agent router hallucinating targets and sending tasks to the wrong specialist agent

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router outputs a structured confidence score. If confidence is below a defined threshold, fall back to a generalist agent or request user clarification rather than guessing.

Journey Context:
Deterministic routing \(regex/keyword\) is brittle, but LLM-based routing can hallucinate targets. If a router is 70% confident it should go to Agent X, but Agent X fails, the system loops or loses data. By exposing confidence and defining fallback thresholds, you trade complete automation for reliability, preventing cascading failures from misrouting.
