Smoldering Egg token issue
My opponent made a token copy of Smoldering Egg with Sublime Epiphany. Their Smoldering Egg was initially conjured by Vesuvan Mist. When it hit 7 ember counters, it transformed into Ashmouth Dragon, despite being a token explicitly of the front half only.
This contradicts rule 706.8: 706.8 When copying a double-faced permanent, a face-up meld card, or a melded permanent, only the copiable values of the face that’s currently up are copied. (See rule 711, “Double-Faced Cards.” and rule 712, “Meld Cards.”)
Please look into why this has occurred and fix it. Perhaps it ran into the issue because it was a conjured card.

Huh, my apologies then. Thanks for the correction.

Token copies of transforming DFCs are themselves transforming permanents. As of March of the Machine.
From the CR:
707.8a If an effect creates a token that is a copy of a transforming permanent or a transforming
double-faced card not on the battlefield, the resulting token is a transforming token that has both
a front face and a back face. The characteristics of each face are determined by the copiable
values of the same face of the permanent it is a copy of, as modified by any other copy effects
that apply to that permanent. If the token is a copy of a transforming permanent with its back
face up, the token enters the battlefield with its back face up. This rule does not apply to tokens
that are created with their own set of characteristics and enter the battlefield as a copy of a
transforming permanent due to a replacement effect.
