Report #48750

[architecture] Router agent dispatching tasks to the wrong specialist agent due to ambiguous user intent

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router outputs a confidence score. If below a threshold, route to a generalist agent or prompt the user for clarification instead of forcing a dispatch.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded routing or single-shot classification often misroutes edge cases to specialized agents that lack the broad context to handle them, leading to immediate failure or hallucination. By requiring the router to emit a confidence score alongside its routing choice, you create a circuit breaker. The tradeoff is an extra inference step or clarification prompt, which adds latency, but it prevents catastrophic failures where a highly specialized agent tries to execute a task outside its domain with high confidence.
