 ### Added
 
 - feat(llm): complexity triage routing (#2141) — new `LlmRoutingStrategy::Triage` routing mode that classifies each request into `Simple`, `Medium`, `Complex`, or `Expert` complexity tiers using a configurable classifier provider before dispatching to a tier-specific provider; `TriageRouter` in `zeph-llm` implements `LlmProvider` using `Box::pin` to break the recursive `AnyProvider` type cycle; classifier calls are wrapped in a configurable timeout (default 5 s) with fallback to the default tier on timeout or parse failure; context-window auto-escalation skips when `context_window()` returns `None`; `AtomicU64` metrics track classification counts and latencies per tier without locks; `[llm.complexity_routing]` TOML config with `triage_provider`, `tiers.*`, `triage_timeout_secs`, `fallback_strategy`; `AnyProvider::Triage` variant added; agent loop emits "Evaluating complexity..." status indicator during triage
