What happens if I get a shorter work permit through flagpoling?

Hi! I am about to graduate from a 2-year master's program next month and am thinking of flagpoling to apply for my PGWP. Now, my passport expires December 2024 so in all likelihood, I won't get a work permit beyond that (study permit and TRV are valid until December 2024 as well). In this case, would I still be eligible for a PGWP extension if I flagpoled to get my initial permit? Would it be better to do it online? Do I need to inform the border officer about any specifics of my case to help them understand my situation (e.g. put in a note saying I'm eligible for extension)?
