I agree with
brunos. Just adding a few comments.

I had no problem doing that pre-pandemic.

https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...in-policy.html) But I am not sure if BA being OW is considered interline partner, or if CX non-HKG checkin staff understands about how to through-check OW. The sectors are a few hours apart from one another.
Allowed. If the CX check-in agent had a problem, show him/her this webpage?

Available now in Hong Kong station with limited hours. Not in Kowloon station yet.

The BA check-in agent was clearly mistaken. BA's policy (or oneworld's policy) is to through-check when on a single PNR, same ticket or not. See pages 5 and 6 of
