 Currency and crypto conversions require internet access and use [currency-api](https://github.com/fawazahmed0/exchange-api). These are **daily rates, not live market prices**; the snapshot date is shown with the answer. Treat them as estimates, not trading or payment quotes. Fetch failures show an error rather than silently using old rates; change the query to retry.
 
+`yen` is accepted as an alias for `JPY` in either conversion direction, case-insensitively.
+
 Rates are shared across queries and refreshed on the next currency query after the local day changes. While refreshing, a cached answer remains copyable and is labeled stale. Leaving the query or dismissing the launcher does not cancel that shared refresh.
 
 `ConjureKit.CurrencyCalculation` owns this lifetime policy; the launcher renders its result. Its checks use an injected clock and scripted rate fetches.
