[architecture] Rigid one-way routing where an orchestrator delegates to a sub-agent with no feedback loop for uncertainty

Implement confidence-aware routing where sub-agents return a confidence score or explicit failure signal, allowing the router to re-evaluate, try a different agent, or escalate to a human.

Journey Context:
A common failure mode is an agent getting stuck in a hallucination loop because it was forced to handle a task outside its capability. Routing shouldn't be a one-way street. If an agent's confidence is low, it should yield control back to the orchestrator. The tradeoff is increased complexity in the routing logic and slightly higher token usage for self-reflection, but it prevents silent failures.
