[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents that lack the specific knowledge to complete them, causing hallucinations

Require agents to output a confidence score alongside their intent classification, and route low-confidence tasks to a generalist or fallback agent.

Journey Context:
Hard routing rules \(e.g., 'if X, go to Agent Y'\) fail on edge cases. A specialized agent forced to answer outside its training will hallucinate rather than admit failure. Including a confidence threshold allows the system to fall back to a more capable generalist model when the specialist is unsure, preventing constrained context windows from forcing bad generations.
