Report #58853

[architecture] Agent router delegating requests to the wrong specialist agent or getting stuck in a loop

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router agent emits a confidence score; if below a threshold, route to a fallback generalist or ask the user for clarification.

Journey Context:
Deterministic routing via keyword matching is brittle. LLM-based routing is prone to over-assigning to highly capable agents even for out-of-scope tasks. Confidence scoring prevents cascading failures where a specialist hallucinates because it was given the wrong task. Without it, the system silently fails downstream.
