A bit of a specific question....

I have a family member scheduled to arrive on the 15th, due in at 11:30pm.  What happens if the flight is late, and doesn't arrive until the morning of the 16th?

NO! There is no mention of the 15th Jan sunset date for the approved Test&Go passes.

How did you get a Thailand Paas if you (or the hotel) didn't book a PCR-test?

Edit: Sorry, I just saw that for the "test and go" you had to book a PCR-test on arrival to get a Thailand Pass.
For SHA+ no  booking required.
For AQ You have to pay hotel for 2  or 3 tests.

The test at the airport you have already paid for. If not you would not be able to apply for the pass in the beginning. If you are on a test and go scheme the second test is free if you got the thai pass before 22 dec. If after. Not sure.. Also if you are arriving on a thai pass which is connected to a sandbox scheme I think you have to prepay both of the tests.

Is The Thaiger again trying to prove itself to be an unreliable news source by repeated claims of a January 15 cut-off date for pre-approved test and go?  No official site or the TAT news contained such information after todays long awaited conference.  They were wrong the last time and hopefully wrong this time.  It's as if they are wishing it to come true by constantly repeating it.  Drama Queens!!!

At least the government has reopened other sandbox locations. It really was a case of shutting the gate after the horse has bolted!
