Report #9563

[architecture] Router agent sending tasks to the wrong specialist agent, causing execution failures or hallucinated tool calls

Require the router agent to output a structured confidence score or explicit fallback condition alongside the handoff, and route back to a supervisor or user if confidence is below a threshold.

Journey Context:
LLMs often confidently route to the wrong agent. If Agent A hands off to Agent B, and B doesn't know what to do, it might hallucinate a tool call or hand back to A, creating a loop. By forcing a confidence score and a default escalate-to-user path, you break the loop. The routing function should programmatically check the score before executing the handoff.
