Report #99775

[architecture] Hard-coded routing sends hard tasks to a cheap model and easy tasks to an expensive one

Add a confidence or cost-estimate gate: route to the cheapest model that can meet a measured confidence threshold, and escalate when confidence is low or the task class is uncertain.

Journey Context:
Uniform routing wastes money; naive 'small=cheap, big=expensive' routing wastes quality. Confidence routing lets you tune a latency/cost/quality frontier explicitly and measure it.
