Report #64349

[architecture] Rigid routing of tasks to agents regardless of their capability, leading to infinite loops or hallucinated completions

Implement confidence-aware routing where agents emit a structured confidence score or fallback signal, and the orchestrator re-routes or escalates to the user on low confidence.

Journey Context:
Agents are eager to please and will attempt tasks outside their domain, leading to hallucinations. Without a structured mechanism to say 'I don't know', agents fail silently or confidently wrong. By forcing a confidence/fallback field in the handoff schema, the orchestrator can break out of agent loops, apply different prompting strategies, or escalate to a human, mimicking intent-routing fallbacks in traditional conversational AI.
