Report #65385

[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents based on static rules or keyword matching, causing brittle delegation when user intent is ambiguous

Implement confidence-aware routing where the triage agent outputs a confidence score along with the routing decision, and low-confidence routes fall back to a generalist agent or prompt the user for clarification.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded routing \(e.g., 'if SQL in prompt, route to DB agent'\) fails on edge cases like 'delete my data' \(is it DB or CRM?\). If the triage agent is forced to pick one, it might route to the wrong agent, causing a cascading failure or infinite loop. By requiring a confidence score and defining a threshold for handoff, you prevent the system from entering unrecoverable states.
