[architecture] Agent routing to the wrong specialist agent due to ambiguous user intent

Use a triage agent that evaluates a confidence score for its routing decision; if confidence is below a threshold, prompt for clarification or route to a generalist rather than guessing.

Journey Context:
A single orchestrator agent often guesses which specialist to route to, leading to a specialist agent receiving a task it cannot perform, wasting tokens and time. Instead of hard-switching on a weak signal, the triage agent should evaluate its confidence. If it's 80% sure Agent X should handle it, route it. If it's 40% sure, it should either ask the user a clarifying question or handle it itself. This prevents cascading failures where the specialist has to hand back the task.
