Report #5863

[architecture] Tasks routed to the wrong specialized agent based on ambiguous user intent, causing hallucinated actions

Use a triage agent that outputs structured routing decisions including a confidence score, and route to a generalist agent if confidence is below a defined threshold.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded routing rules \(e.g., if keyword X, route to Agent Y\) fail on ambiguous inputs, forcing specialized agents to attempt tasks outside their domain, leading to high hallucination rates. By having a triage agent explicitly evaluate its confidence in the routing decision via structured output, the system can gracefully fall back to a generalist agent rather than forcing a bad fit.
