Is it GCC-legal to use 1M-3m as a mini-splinter (invitational values)? If so, what in the GCC chart authorizes it?

Does it make any difference if responder is a passed hand?

No sweat. If it is an offer to play in Opener's suit or forces to game (anywhere), it is GCC legal. This provision legalizes Bergen raises, splinters, 2NT forcing raises, criss-cross and a lot of other other conventional raises and game forcing agreements.

Interesting hijack.
What rule allows a 2/1 not game forcing response?

When the GCC was written, RAs were only allowed to regulate conventional
bids. Since natural bids could not be regulated, they didn't bother
listing all the natural bids that were allowed.
