Adding too many calculated bonuses to CMB and CMD tends to cause that line in the stat block to turn into a 2 line entry or in some cases even more. We generally don't like that, since the stat blocks take up more than enough room already.
We generally include grapple check modifiers because those seem to occur the most often, but for other modifiers we generally only include them if a creature has a specific bonus to a specific maneuver, but if it gets a bonus from, say, a feat, we generally leave that out of the stat block.

ok, how about the composite Str bonus?Adding too many calculated bonuses to CMB and CMD tends to cause that line in the stat block to turn into a 2 line entry or in some cases even more. We generally don't like that, since the stat blocks take up more than enough room already.

Composite Bows do not automatically add the Str bonus to damage. From the Core Rules:
The default composite shortbow requires a Strength modifier of +0 or higher to use with proficiency. A composite shortbow can be made with a high strength rating to take advantage of an above-average Strength score; this feature allows you to add your Strength bonus to damage, up to the maximum bonus indicated for the bow. Each point of Strength bonus granted by the bow adds 75 gp to its cost.
Since there is no Strength bonus indicated, it just a default composite short bow.
Athyra p. 22, incorrect CMD
18 = 10 + 3 (BAB) +5 (Str) + 2(Dex) - 2(rage)SB says 19
+1 dodge from naked courage ability. Dodge bonuses to AC also apply to CMD.
Rival Faction Agents p. 34 damage for short sword should be 1d6+1 instead of 1d6+2, two-weapon fighting damage bonus is halved.
No, only the off-hand weapon is halved.
What is this desire to find mistakes everywhere? Even if there is a mistake or two here and there (and so far, you haven't actually found one), is it really that big a deal?
Large Eloko p. 40, missing CR value, not sure what it should be
The large eloko is just the size-increased version of the eloko already listed right before it (using its size alteration ability), so it has the same CR.

When fighting with 2 weapons, the primary weapon still adds your strength modifier to damage. The off-hand weapon adds 1/2 your strength modifier to damage.
So, the stat block is correct.
