[synthesis] Router agent sends queries to the wrong sub-agent resulting in high-confidence incorrect answers

Implement a secondary, lightweight validation agent or embedding similarity check between the user's original intent and the final generated response before returning it to the user.

Journey Context:
Routing agents use embeddings to classify intent. Over time, as new documents alter the vector space, or as user queries shift, the router sends the query to the wrong sub-agent. The sub-agent faithfully answers the misrouted question perfectly. No exceptions are thrown. Standard monitoring sees 200 OK and high RAG similarity scores. The leading indicator is a subtle drop in user retention or an increase in re-phrased follow-up queries, which is only caught by measuring intent-to-response alignment post-generation.
