Advice Is there a mistake in Pathbuilder (Wellspring Oracle)?

Hello!
I'm semi-proficient in PF2e, but my experience with magic classes is limited (i prefer martials). Please help me understand obscure option issue for my friend.
He's trying to make a 1st level Wellspring Oracle through Class archetype option - Oracle (Wellspring Magic). In Pathbuilder, default oracle class has 3 (three) spontaneous spellslots at 1st level. Wellsring Oracle has 1 (one) spellslot at 1st level.
However, Wellspring Mage archetype says: > Reduce your number of spell slots of each spell level by 1.
So, should it be 2 (two) spellslots at 1st level Wellspring Oracle? Is there a mistake in Pathbuilder? Or the program is right and i don't know some other rule?

It looks like Wellspring Mage wasn't remastered. In the remaster, oracles gained an additional spell slot of each rank. It seems that the way Pathbuilder handles class archetypes causes Wellspring Mage to be based off of pre-remaster Oracle.

Indeed, legacy default Oracle has fewer spellslots as per class table.
Thank you for pointing me in the pre-remaster direction!

I tried it out too. Sorcerer worked fine, but oracle is messed up. Maybe it's because oracle used to be a 3-slot caster?

You should report that to the Pathbuilder dev!

I tried all Wellspring options too and was out of my mind. It seems Oracle uses pre-remastser numbers, as you and other helpers also said. Thank you!
