Hypothesis
The regression was introduced by a defaulting clause in v2, and the current v3 replacement 'Ask for clarification if the source currency is not specified or ambiguous' is insufficiently explicit compared to v1's negative constraints to prevent the model from defaulting to its USD-centric bias.
Suspected prompt clause
Ask for clarification if the source currency is not specified or ambiguous.
- recommended
- Replace the current clarification clause with the more robust v1 rules, including 'Never silently assume a default currency' and the instruction to ask 'before calling the tool'.
- evidence
- The 'Always assume USD' clause was added in v2 (released 2026-05-05T12:47:00+00:00), and all failures exhibit the exact behavior introduced at that timestamp.
