Just curious.
Was the j/s available? If so, were you able to list for the j/s on iCrew prior to reaching the gate. If not, were you listed as a non-rev on this earlier flight, or was your boarding dependent on the agent listing you too?
Not sure about the "14mins prior", but if the agent had already "closed the flight" then he/she had submitted final numbers to load planning. Honestly, not sure what the CSA's policy states about opening a flight again to get non-rev passengers on.
