Report #85956

[frontier] Intent classification routers sending queries to wrong specialist agents due to semantic drift

Use Dynamic Threshold Calibration in embedding-based routers that adjusts similarity cutoffs based on per-route traffic entropy and outlier detection, rather than static global thresholds.

Journey Context:
Static thresholds \(e.g., cosine > 0.7\) fail as query distributions shift or new routes are added, causing misrouting or fallback storms. The fix implements a calibration loop that analyzes the distribution of distances for each route daily, setting route-specific thresholds at percentiles \(e.g., 95th\) to capture true positives while filtering outliers. Tradeoff: requires telemetry storage and periodic retraining, but eliminates manual threshold tuning. Alternative of single global threshold optimizes for average case but fails at distribution tails where precision matters most.
