Report #70802

[architecture] Router agent dispatches tasks to the wrong specialist agent because it guesses blindly on ambiguous user intent

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router returns a 'clarification needed' state or falls back to a generalist agent if classification confidence is below a threshold.

Journey Context:
Treating routing as a deterministic switch assumes perfect intent understanding. LLMs will confidently route to the wrong agent, leading to specialized agents trying to use the wrong tools. A fallback path or a clarification prompt prevents the system from entering unrecoverable states when intent is ambiguous.
