Report #7917

[agent\_craft] Agent uses LLM reasoning for tasks that can be handled by deterministic routing

Build a hybrid router: use deterministic keyword matching or regex for known tool calls or file paths \(e.g., \`read\_file\`, \`ls\`\), and reserve LLM-based semantic routing only for ambiguous planning or complex query decomposition.

Journey Context:
Agents often route every user request or intermediate step through an LLM to decide the next action. This is slow, expensive, and introduces unnecessary context overhead \(the LLM needs the history to route\). If the user asks to read a file, or the agent needs to list a directory, a simple rule-based router can intercept this without touching the context window. The tradeoff is less 'flexibility', but in practice, deterministic routing for standard operations preserves the context window for actual complex logic.
