[architecture] Handing off task to wrong agent due to poor intent classification

Implement confidence-aware routing using embedding similarity \(semantic routing\) rather than LLM-based classification alone, and require receiving agents to evaluate their capability before execution.

Journey Context:
A common failure mode is a router agent sending a task to an agent based on a vague description, and the receiving agent hallucinates an answer instead of rejecting it. LLMs rarely say 'I don't know'. To fix this, have the router compare the task embedding against agent description embeddings, which provides a mathematical confidence score. If no agent exceeds a similarity threshold, route to a generalist fallback.
