Report #73799

[architecture] Agents confidently pass incorrect data down the chain without validation

Require agents to output a structured confidence score alongside their payload, and define an orchestrator threshold that triggers a human-in-the-loop interrupt if confidence is below the threshold.

Journey Context:
LLMs are naturally overconfident. If an agent is unsure, it will still generate a plausible answer. By forcing a self-evaluated confidence score, the orchestrator can route low-confidence outputs to a HITL queue rather than letting errors compound exponentially through the agent chain.
