[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents without evaluating the orchestrator's confidence leading to misrouting

Implement confidence thresholds for routing decisions; if the orchestrator's confidence is below the threshold, route to a generalist or ask the user for clarification.

Journey Context:
LLM routers often force a choice even when the input is ambiguous, leading to specialized agents receiving tasks outside their domain. By requiring the router to output a confidence score alongside the routing decision, you can catch low-confidence routes. Routing to a generalist on low confidence prevents specialized agents from hallucinating wildly outside their skill set.
