[architecture] Misrouting a task to an agent that lacks the specific skill or context to handle it

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router agent evaluates its certainty, and specialized agents can emit a 'cannot handle' signal to trigger a fallback to a generalist agent.

Journey Context:
Static routing based on keyword matching often sends tasks to the wrong specialist \(e.g., sending a Python networking question to a web-scraping agent because it mentioned 'requests'\). By requiring the router to output a confidence score, and allowing the target agent to reject the task if its confidence is low, you create a dynamic fallback mechanism that prevents dead-end execution paths.
