I respectfully disagree (and garykung), if there is codeshare agreement, I do expect the agent knows the rule. also Cathay DOES publish the rule in clear terms.

Codeshare flights and mixed carrier flights
1. A codeshare flight operated by one of our partner airlines
Route: Hong Kong > Nadi
Sector
Marketing carrier
Operating carrier
Hong Kong - Nadi
Cathay Pacific
Fiji Airways
This is an example to illustrate the difference between flights purchased on and after April 1, 2015, when the amendment to the IATA Resolution 302 came into effect.
If you purchased your ticket on or after the 1 April, 2015, you would follow the policy of the
marketing carrier. If the abbreviation code of your flight number is ‘CX’, we are the marketing carrier and you would follow our policy.
If you purchased your ticket on and before the 31st March 2015, you would follow the policy of the
operating carrier. As the flight is operated by Fiji Airways, you would follow their baggage policy.
HOWEVER, KEEP IN MIND, ONEWORLD BENEFIT only applies with ONEWORLD carrier...
In short, CA should applies CX baggage rule, but NO need to honor oneworld "elite" rule.
