  • GCS ancestry draft: gcs/grimlock.gct
  • Source template total: -22 points.
  • Library-rebuilt template total: -22 points.
  • CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
  • GCS ancestry reconciliation adjudicated: the published template total is -22 points and the parsed source children sum to 33, a difference of -55. Classified as large grouped construction not decomposed — a large residual: this record's source entry groups a substantial block of abilities (typically spellcasting, breath weapons, or an alternative-ability set) into a single construction that the prose parser could not decompose. The author's published total is preserved and the residual stays visible as a reconciliation child rather than being silently absorbed. The authorized source total is preserved; the remaining manual step is opening gcs/grimlock.gct in GCS to replace the reconciliation child with native constructions where the grouped ability can be decomposed.
  • CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 15, PR 11, CER 26, threat tier standard.
  • Encounter metadata derived (gregarious): average number appearing 2, wandering weight 3. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
  • Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
  • Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b2-gcs-reconciliation); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
  • The source-total difference is classified and documented in conversionNotes; the authorized published total is preserved and the residual stays visible as a reconciliation child.
  • Visual GCS verification of the .gct is not claimed by this decision; checks.gcsVisualPass is false.
