[architecture] Router agent forcing a choice among specialized agents even when the query is ambiguous

Implement confidence-aware routing by having the router output a structured confidence score or fallback condition, and default to a generalist agent if confidence is below a threshold.

Journey Context:
LLM routers often force a deterministic choice among N agents, even if the query fits none perfectly. This 'blind handoff' causes a specialized agent to receive an out-of-domain task and hallucinate wildly. By allowing the router to express uncertainty and fall back to a generalist, you contain out-of-domain errors.
