Hypothesis

The agent prioritizes the strict brevity constraints introduced in v2 over the instruction to ask for clarification, causing it to silently assume USD to maintain a single-turn, concise response.

Suspected prompt clause

Be concise and direct. Reply in one or two sentences.
recommended
Relax the brevity constraint to allow for multi-turn clarification and re-insert the v1 negative constraint: 'Never silently assume a default currency'.
evidence
The clause was introduced in v2 (released 2026-05-05T12:47:00+00:00), and all reported failures of silent USD defaulting occur after this release.
