Definition
The confidence docs use a 0.5 floor to catch anything the model reports as genuinely uncertain: below it, route to a human instead of guessing. Intent routing uses the same idea with a 0.5 intent-confidence floor.
A floor is not a global constant for every action. Above it, thresholds still scale with the cost of being wrong, so a read-only action can act earlier than an irreversible one.
