I thought that maybe the stile was some kind of glued up

Don't you think that that's a strange hollow "pattern", especially
the smoothness of the "crescents" on the piece that cracked off?

It could be the ends of the peg slots that holds the door together.
When you shine a light into the holes what do you see. If it is pegs or "biscuits" slots you may be able to see the ends.

Even if there was a market for seconds, there was no way for any buyer
to know that it was a second because all of the "hollow" was hidden
inside the stile. Only the most obsessively honest of a person would
have divulged that there were hollow spots inside the stile.
It never would have been discovered if that edge hadn't have cracked off.

Here's the closet. We have no idea when it was built.

The back of the house is shown below.
The door on the right is for a shed.
The closet is right where the gray bins are.
To the left of that is a pantry/walkway to the kitchen.
To the left of the entry door is a powder room.
All of that is above a crawl space, which I why I believe that it may
have been a back porch at some time in the past.

Your daughter has a very well trained dog, or a quite small dog.
Many years ago there was a pretty lab that would come over and visit my
wife while she had coffee on the back deck. This went on for a long
time. One day we went to a neighbor's garage sale, and my Wife
recognized the lab in the short fence and said she enjoy him coming over
when she had coffee. The lady was sure it was not her dog, as she put
him in the fenced yard before work and he was still there when she got
home. We let her live with her illusions.

Here's the closet. We have no idea when it was built.

The back of the house is shown below.
The door on the right is for a shed.
The closet is right where the gray bins are.
To the left of that is a pantry/walkway to the kitchen.
To the left of the entry door is a powder room.
All of that is above a crawl space, which I why I believe that it may
have been a back porch at some time in the past.

May keep the dog in, but it won't keep the coyotes out. Not sure how
a cat would react, likely find a way to break it.

French Bulldog, so not so big.
We were concerned with him going *under* the fence as opposed to over it. That's where some of the modifications came in.

He hasn't been a digger yet, but he's only 8 months old and hasn't had free run of a fenced in
yard either. There is no expectation that he will be left out alone for any extended period
of time. i.e. No plans to leave him out when my daughter goes to work, shopping etc.
At least that's the plan. She was part of the planning and helped out on the install, so any
issues are on her.
