  Comments:
GG5 and prog have three senses, like the kokugos.
I think we should have an entry for 子細に.

GG5:
1 〈事情〉 circumstances; 〈詳細〉 details; 《文》 particulars
¶子細に in detail; 《文》 minutely
・子細に語る give a detailed [full] account 《of》
・子細に点検する make a close inspection 《of》.
  Comments:
The JEs combine those senses, and think it works well.
They also only have 子細, and the kokugos lead with it so I'd leave it as it is.

  Comments:
most of my dictionaries have it as the first definition. 

Also as for 子 vs 仔, I think 仔 is the correct kanji for this word since it has the detailed/minute meaning and is used in the examples:

し【仔】
① こまかに。くわしく。「仔細」
② こ。動物の子。「仔牛(こうし)」

し【×仔】
㊀〈シ〉小さい。細かい。「仔細」
㊁〈こ〉動物の子。「仔羊」

  Comments:
Certainly both are sanctioned, although 大辞林 tags 仔細 as deprecated.
I'll go the the 常用漢字 one first, I think.
