[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents unnecessarily, causing high latency and context fragmentation

Route to sub-agents only when a lightweight classifier triggers or the primary agent's confidence falls below a threshold; otherwise, handle locally with tools.

Journey Context:
Naive multi-agent systems route every query through a router agent to a specialized agent. This introduces latency, context fragmentation, and error propagation if the router misclassifies. By having the primary agent attempt the task with a self-evaluation \(or using a lightweight semantic router only for ambiguous inputs\), you minimize inter-agent handoffs. The tradeoff is slightly higher compute on the primary agent, but massive reduction in coordination overhead and latency.
