Report #65799

[architecture] Low-confidence agent outputs propagate errors downstream

Implement calibrated confidence scores \(0.0-1.0\) with hard thresholds; route below-threshold to human or specialized validator agent

Journey Context:
Many systems use binary pass/fail or no confidence at all. This leads to cascading hallucinations. Calibrated confidence \(using temperature scaling or ensemble disagreement\) allows setting proper thresholds. Alternative is always-human-review, which doesn't scale.
