Hypothesis

The agent is failing to adhere to the clarification requirement because it was previously conditioned to assume USD, and despite the v3 prompt change, it is still exhibiting the behavior introduced in v2.

Suspected prompt clause

Ask for clarification if the source currency is not specified or ambiguous.
recommended
Modify the instruction to explicitly forbid defaulting to USD, such as 'Never silently assume a default currency; you must ask for clarification if the source currency is not specified.'
evidence
The failures match the 'defaulting' behavior introduced in v2 (2026-05-05T12:47Z) and persist despite the v3 revision.
