I realize that it's too late because you've already flown the first segment, but why NRT-xORD-JFK instead of NRT-JFK?
Thanks. I think it was a mistake on my part. I needed two more flights on AA metal to fulfill AA PLAT elite status this year, so decided to have those two AA segments at the start of the DONE3. At the time of booking, I was not aware that a JL flight would have worked for my elite status just like an AA flight. So, I lost one precious segment.

It shows up on EF searching for 2016 departure dates:
Code:

Search LAX to DOH on 07/06/16 up to 7 days

That's what I thought, too. But I was surprised by the amount AA codeshares on other CX flights, even intra-Asia ones... Maybe the latter have to to do with segments that connect to US-bound flights, but I'm not sure. Curious to understand how they make those codeshare choices...
