Report #6418

[architecture] Static keyword-based routing sends ambiguous or out-of-domain tasks to narrow specialists, causing them to hallucinate or fail

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router emits a structured confidence score, routing low-confidence or ambiguous tasks to a generalist or human-in-the-loop rather than a fragile specialist.

Journey Context:
Deterministic routers \(e.g., 'if SQL keyword, route to SQL agent'\) break on edge cases. If a user asks a slightly off-topic question, a narrow specialist will try to force it into its domain, producing garbage. By forcing the router to evaluate its own confidence in the mapping, you create a graceful degradation path. Low confidence means the task goes to a broader, safer agent or halts for human intervention.
