Sorry, typo:

Your posting ignores the overriding fact that 3 days earlier than the finding of “currently not mentally ill,” a judicial officer of competent authority had found him “Mentally Ill.”

Im having trouble identifying which documents your citing, but I assume that your talking about the Temporary Detention Order, which is an order of detainment, not committal, as it says in his post. The TDO is also done by a magistrate, who does not have the authority to temporarily detain, only to issue a warrant for detainment.

“The “Magistrate” is the Judge who will issue the warrant.
Keep in mind that this warrant does not guarantee
admission, but rather guarantees evaluation for the
need of treatment in the least restrictive environment.”

Yes, the magistrate did find probable cause to have Mr. Barber evaluated, but that does not mean that he was committed. Three days later Mr. Barber finished his evaluation and the court found he was not Mentally ill, and ruled that their was no need to have him committed or to have his gun rights revoked.
