[frontier] Multi-agent majority voting resulting in wrong decisions when confident agents are outvoted by uncertain ones

Implement weighted consensus: each agent outputs \(decision, confidence\_score\); aggregate by weighted average; threshold for minimum confidence

Journey Context:
Simple majority vote fails when 3 uncertain agents outvote 1 confident expert. Require agents to output confidence \(0.0-1.0\). Aggregate decisions by weighted confidence. If max confidence < threshold, spawn more agents or escalate. This prevents 'loudest voice wins' dynamics.
