It is likely that you are pregnant.

This morning I'm putting on my cycling shoes and noticing they're a
whole lot tighter than normal, but actually loosened up as I got
further into the ride. Couldn't figure it out; feet normally swell a
bit as you ride, not shrink. Then I'm thinkin' that maybe the
previous-night's late meal of a couple Jack in the Box tacos, along
with a chicken thingee, which I'm sure had a boatload of salt.

That's what your thingee is for!!!

Possibly. See the following:

The gist: consuming high amounts of sodium results in 8-9% more
plasma volume. The upside: cardiac output also increased.

I knew there was a good reason why my preference for salt has been
growing lately...

An old adage says "Where salt goes water stays." So yes excess salt (sodium)
will cause water retention. Need to drink more water to dilute the salt.
