Report #70911

[architecture] Agents blindly proceed with low-confidence outputs or spam humans with trivial HITL requests

Implement a dual-threshold confidence scoring system, triggering a human-in-the-loop checkpoint only when confidence falls between an auto-accept and auto-reject threshold.

Journey Context:
A single threshold is brittle. If you just trigger HITL on low confidence, humans get alert fatigue from trivial failures. If you auto-reject low confidence, you miss recoverable paths. The uncertainty zone \(e.g., 0.7 - 0.9 confidence\) is where HITL adds the most value, allowing auto-accept for >0.9 and auto-reject or retry for <0.7.
