Where this one came from

Source record: Owlbear [Monster Manual, page 206]
Source system: gurps_4e_fan_conversion / author_permission

GCS ancestry draft: gcs/owlbear.gct
Source template total: 11 points.
Library-rebuilt template total: 11 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 11 points and the parsed source children sum to 6, a difference of +5. 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/owlbear.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 21, PR 24, CER 45, 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.
