[synthesis] Agent misroutes to wrong sub-agent with high confidence as new skills are added

Monitor the cosine similarity margin \(delta\) between the top-1 and top-2 intent embeddings, not just the absolute top-1 score. Alert when the margin shrinks below a dynamic baseline, even if the top-1 score is high.

Journey Context:
When an agent router is deployed, it has clear semantic boundaries. As new tools or intents are added, the embedding space gets crowded. The top-1 score remains high \(e.g., 0.85\), so standard monitors pass, but the top-2 score might be 0.84. The model is essentially guessing between two intents. Absolute thresholds fail because overall similarity scores naturally shift as the corpus grows; only the relative margin reveals the impending collapse of routing accuracy before actual misroutes happen.
