[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents without evaluating the router's confidence score

Route to a generalist agent or prompt the user for clarification if the routing classifier's confidence is below a threshold, rather than forcing a delegation to a specialist.

Journey Context:
A common mistake is treating the orchestrator as an infallible classifier. If the router is 51% confident Agent X should handle a query, sending it to Agent X strips the original broad context and often leads to a dead end because the specialist can't handle the nuance. Fallback to a generalist preserves context and allows for multi-step reasoning when intent is ambiguous, preventing premature context narrowing.
