[architecture] Orchestrator agent getting confused by too many domain rules causing routing accuracy to plummet

Decompose the orchestrator into a lightweight, stateless router that only classifies intent and delegates, keeping domain knowledge strictly within the specialist agents.

Journey Context:
It is tempting to give the orchestrator massive system prompts containing all domain rules so it can supervise better. This backfires: the LLM gets confused by conflicting instructions \(the 'God Agent' anti-pattern\). The orchestrator should be as dumb as possible—acting purely as a switchboard—while specialists hold the domain logic. This keeps routing high-precision and system prompts manageable.
