You could be right, I remember the 1st J-20 prototype not having a canopy frame until the production model came out.I mean , I wouldn’t read too much into this ,according to rumors (not anymore ), the front body was completely redesigned, so at this point, it’s like the 2002 prototype, This canopy simply couldn’t be the final solution TBH

One of the reason to keep developing WS-18 could be for future replacement for existing air-frames that use DP-30s. To certify WS-18 for that purpose, it has to be installed on a new Y-20 air-frame that is identical to the ones made for DP-30s.
So I believe that there are air-frames that are simultaneously testing WS-18 and WS-20. I think Tang Changhong actually said so not long ago that was reported in this foru
Any confirmation that it's using WS-15 engine? Too good to be true?
Two seated version was first reported by janes around 2014,since there are rumor in the chinese website about two seat version. Being develop, .There are no rumours at all which have suggested that the J-20S is powered by WS-15s, I'm unsure where you derived that from.
