[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents based purely on keyword matching rather than model confidence

Use the orchestrator agent's token probabilities or a dedicated classifier to generate a confidence score before routing. If confidence is below a threshold, route to a generalist agent or prompt the user for clarification, rather than forcing a specialized agent to guess.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded routing rules \(e.g., if user mentions code, route to CodeAgent\) break when intents are ambiguous \(e.g., write a poem about code\). The specialized agent then hallucinates or fails because it lacks the broader context. Confidence-aware routing allows the system to gracefully degrade to a generalist or interactive clarification path when intent is ambiguous, preventing catastrophic context shifts.
