The positive-region coheight formula for q,t-Fuss-Catalan numbers

Let WW be a crystallographic reflection group, let Shi(m)(W)\mathsf{Shi}^{(m)}(W) be the extended Shi arrangement, and let coh(R)\operatorname{coh}(R) be the coheight of a positive region RR. Positive-region formula. The q,tq,t-Fuss-Catalan numbers specialize at t=1t=1 to

Cat(m)(W;q,1)=Cat(m)(W;q):=Rqcoh(R),\operatorname{Cat}^{(m)}(W;q,1)=\operatorname{Cat}^{(m)}(W;q):=\sum_R q^{\operatorname{coh}(R)},

where the sum is over all positive regions of Shi(m)(W)\mathsf{Shi}^{(m)}(W). This gives a conjectural combinatorial interpretation in terms of positive Shi regions; the source gives no resolution.
