Report #5090

[architecture] How do you route work to the right specialist agent without brittle if/then logic?

Use a confidence-aware router: each candidate agent reports a score for the input, the dispatcher picks the winner or falls back to a generalist, and you retrain on real routing mistakes rather than synthetic labels.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded routing trees become unmaintainable as the skill library grows. A learned gating network scales better but fails silently when it overconfidently sends a request to the wrong specialist. Exposing per-agent confidence and defining an explicit fallback keeps coverage high. The operational lesson from Mixture-of-Experts research is that routing quality dominates final quality: a bad router wastes a good expert.
