Report #75255

[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents unnecessarily, increasing latency and context loss

Implement confidence-aware routing. A primary or triage agent attempts the task first; it only delegates to a specialized agent if its internal confidence score falls below a threshold or it explicitly fails.

Journey Context:
Always routing to a specialized agent adds a full round-trip latency and forces context translation. A generalist agent with a broad toolset can handle most tasks. Delegation should be the exception \(when the generalist lacks specific knowledge or tools\), not the default routing mechanism.
