Report #78874

[architecture] Routing tasks to the wrong specialist agent because the router LLM guessed

Have the router agent output a structured confidence score alongside the routing decision. If confidence is below a threshold, route to a generalist agent or prompt the user for clarification instead of forcing a handoff.

Journey Context:
Routers often force a choice even when the intent is ambiguous. A forced wrong handoff means the specialist agent has to waste a turn realizing it cannot handle it, and handing it back, contributing to loop risks and latency. Confidence-aware routing prevents premature commitment to the wrong context window.
