(I think many have said?) CX should have allowed SPs earned for flights booked pre-announcement and flying post-announcement to count for 2026 transitional qualfication.
For the trip after 30/11/2025, I think you should delete your CX FF number for the second leg. I have done similar exercises with BA: For the same booking; One leg credited BA, another leg credited CX (due to BApocaylypse 10 months ago). It worked as planned. Got BA Silver, my TP with CX and finally Silver with CX. (Farewell BA.)
The effect of your companion redemption, I cannot judge. I recommend you to give it a try though.
I have trips with OW Nov - Dec 2025. I will retro claim the TP for one flight in January. If CX do not honour their sales conditions I will most likely transfer the other flights to AY. What BA did is totally unacceptable. If CX do the same I will for future flights
* Swap credits to AY, or more likely
* Choose another alliance.
