GCS ancestry draft: gcs/mimic.gct
Source template total: 263 points.
Library-rebuilt template total: 263 points.
CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
Issue #5: 0 special ability construction(s) restored and 1 annotated with the source's stated cost. 1 save-or-disable construction(s) are scored through the affliction term at the source's stated point cost, or at Binding ST where the source builds the ability as a Binding.
GCS ancestry reconciliation adjudicated: the published template total is 263 points and the parsed source children sum to 267, a difference of -4. Classified as small arithmetic residual — a small residual consistent with rounding and per-level arithmetic in the published total; the rebuilt template keeps the author's total and carries the difference as an explicit reconciliation child. The authorized source total is preserved; the remaining manual step is opening gcs/mimic.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 20, PR 9, CER 29, threat tier standard.
Conversion baseline reported OR 9, PR 9, CER 18 (tier minor). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
Encounter metadata derived (solitary): average number appearing 1, 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.
