So today I go to check in for my 8:35 am SFO-SEA flight tomorrow, and I get a prompt offering me an upgrade for $139. I decline, and check in, and get the same E+ seat I was assigned before. there are 3 F seats unfilled (on the map and per the upgrade list) and I am 1 of 1 on the upgrade list.

PM here, to the extent that matters. The upgrade is not a big deal (and I expect I will clear) but a policy change is a big deal...

Any idea from someone more familiar with DL what happened?

Happens all the time. See the "FCM" thread. I'm waiting to board STL-MSP and same thing happened to me at OLCI today.
