Why is this a Gas Giant?Your planet has 35.8% hydrogen and helium, combined with a mass of 26.0x Earth, which exceeds the gas giant threshold.
Gas giants form when massive cores capture enormous atmospheres of light gases. They typically form beyond the 'frost line' where volatiles can condense.

Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.

Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.

Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
A thin tidal-warmed subsurface ocean may exist, but conditions are marginal (25/100).

Inside the synchronous orbit: tidal decay dragged it down - it struck the planet ages ago.
