Same day change and CPU
After SDC - can the person be added to the CPU list (assuming there are still available seats, of course)? Or is upgrade list finalized before the last 24 hours? (Apologies if this is a trivial question, but I never had to SDC on a domestic flight before)

SDC has no impact on CPU, it's just like any other time you confirm on a CPU eligible flight. You'll be added to the gate standby list as soon as you check in.

A note, just for complete clarification - if you SDC when you have already been CPU'd, you will be going back to Y and will be on the list for the new flight - you can't keep your upgraded seat, even if R is available.
