Report #58670

[architecture] Orchestrator blindly routing tasks to specialized agents without knowing their likelihood of success

Require agents to emit a structured confidence score \(0.0-1.0\) alongside their output; route low-confidence outputs to a fallback agent or human-in-the-loop.

Journey Context:
Agents often hallucinate answers outside their domain expertise rather than admitting failure. By baking a mandatory confidence field into the response schema, the orchestrator can programmatically check if the agent is uncertain. If confidence is below a threshold, the orchestrator can route to a different agent, retry with a different prompt, or escalate, preventing silent failures.
