The shifted-complex polyhedral product wedge decomposition conjecture

Let KK be a shifted simplicial complex, let (CXi,Xi,xi)(CX_i,X_i,x_i) be based pairs indexed by the vertices of KK, and write Z(K;(CX,X))Z(K;(\underline{CX},\underline{X})) for the associated polyhedral product. For a subset II of the vertices, let KIK_I denote the full subcomplex on II, let X^I\widehat{X}^I denote the smash product of the spaces XiX_i for iIi\in I, and let KIX^I|K_I|*\widehat{X}^I denote their join. Shifted-complex wedge decomposition conjecture. The spaces

Z(K;(CX,X))andIKKIX^IZ(K;(\underline{CX},\underline{X}))\quad\text{and}\quad\bigvee_{I\notin K}|K_I| *\widehat{X}^I

are of the same homotopy type. This would extend the preceding suspension decomposition to an unsuspended homotopy equivalence for shifted complexes; related unsuspended wedge-of-spheres results are known in special cases, but the stated general assertion is presented as a conjecture here.
