Report #82865

[architecture] Router agent delegates tasks to the wrong specialized agent due to ambiguous intent

Require the router to output a confidence score alongside the delegation choice. If confidence is below a threshold, route to a generalist agent or prompt the user for clarification instead of guessing.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded routing or purely LLM-based routing often fails on edge cases, sending a coding task to a search agent. Blind delegation leads to cascading failures. Confidence-aware routing adds a deterministic fallback layer, acknowledging that LLM classification is probabilistic, not absolute. The tradeoff is slightly higher latency from the confidence evaluation, but it prevents expensive misrouting.
