[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents blindly based on keyword matching without evaluating confidence

Implement confidence-aware handoffs; the orchestrator or current agent must output a confidence score or explicit fallback trigger before transferring control.

Journey Context:
Keyword routing leads to infinite loops or bouncing between agents. If Agent A hands off to Agent B, but B doesn't know the answer, it might hand back to A. Confidence scoring breaks this cycle by forcing a fallback to a generalist or human-in-the-loop when no agent is confident, preventing token exhaustion.
