I put my number in during online check in last night.
Didn't let me complete as I needed passport checks etc. but the "TSA Pre" bit did appear on my boarding pass.
First agent at the line wasn't sure, but the other one waved me through.
Not quite as clear to them as on AA boarding passes I'm guessing.

Entered the Known Traveller Number when checking in online 4 November under the passport expiry field, as pointed out by sfosu. Mobile and paper boarding pass had the TSA PRECHECK wording but not the logo.
However, an airport staffer at Terminal 8 pointed me to the wrong line (because she didn't see any logo). She was polite and directed me to the right place when I asked if it was the PreCheck line.

FWIW, last order is 2230 at Flagship Dining, and they close Dining at 2330. Flagship Lounge stays open until CX departs. Or so it was explained to me last week as I was chatting with the Dining staff.

For my upcoming 845 I plan to arrive while Pre is still open, hopefully get Pre on my CX BP, then flash my CK card at Flagship checkin to see if they let me through. Simply as an experiment.

The times given for Flagship Dining is my understanding as well.

Flagship Check-in: aesthetically pleasing, novel to have the velvet rope pulled back, plus it dumps you ahead of other Pre's. Plus, it technically isn't allowed for CX F unless you are flying an AA segment first...so if you get to use it as a JFK local passenger you are essentially getting something you aren't ordinarily entitled to. It is also beneficial upon arrival in a car service, as you can be dropped off first without having to weave your way through traffic...but that's more relevant when flying AA.

11/17/17 LAX-HKG on CX883. I added my KTN at online check-in at T-48 hrs. Couldn’t get boarding pass until T-24 hrs (normal due to US Gov’t Regs). At T-24hrs, mobile boarding pass said TSA Pre-Check. Dropped off a bag at the TBIT check-in counter at T-3 hrs and agent printed new boarding passes that said TSA Pre-Check. I walked to the Terminal 4 Pre-Check line and both my printed boarding pass and my mobile boarding pass screenshot were rejected as “PRECHECK INVALID”. 
I was directed to the normal line at T4, and went through with no problem. They even they let me keep my shoes on due to the TSA Pre-Check on my boarding pass. ^

Had to check-in on mobile and couldn't add KTN. I'm home now.. so do I cancel and re-do check-in? Or just have them add the KTN at the airport (JFK) when I drop bags? Has anyone had check-in agents add their KTN?

Check-in agent at JFK was proactively asking if I had GE.

My data point for CX899 departing from EWR:
I entered my Nexus/Global Entry Nr into the known traveller nr when checking-in online. The boarding pass has TSA PreCheck printed on it. At the gates 50-57 block @EWR there is no separate, faster Pre-Check line (so arrive early). However if you let the TSA agent scanning your boarding card, they will hand you a slip that means you don't need to remove your shoes or liquids and can go thru the standard metal detector.
