[architecture] Hard-routing tasks to specialized agents based on keyword matching, leading to cascading failures on edge cases

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router agent outputs a confidence score alongside the routing decision, and route low-confidence tasks to a generalist fallback agent.

Journey Context:
Deterministic routing \(e.g., if prompt contains database route to DB Agent\) fails when users use ambiguous language or when tasks span domains. A specialized agent receiving an out-of-domain task often hallucinates or fails silently. By forcing the router to assess its own uncertainty and providing a generalist fallback, you prevent specialized agents from operating outside their competence boundary.
