Cecil, Dark Knight transformation
Cecil, Dark Knight was not transforming in a game I played. The player had two (One had already transformed). However, when they attacked and their life total was "Less than half" they were given a choice to transform. Cecil does not include a "Choice," as he MUST transform if the conditions are met.

You forgot to factor in the massive amount of lifegain the opponent had happen as a result of combat damage, so even before Cecile triggers to make them lose life. And only after that life loss from the trigger does the game check the life total of Cecile's controller, still during the resolution of that trigger, and only if the life total at that time is half or less the starting life total does Cecile transform.
