Tropical Severi irreducibility conjecture for toric surfaces

From papers

Let SS be a toric surface over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let LPic(S){\mathcal L}\in \operatorname{Pic}(S) be an effective class, and let g0g\geq 0 be a non-negative integer. Let Virr(S,L,g)V^{\operatorname{irr}}(S,{\mathcal L},g) denote the Severi variety parameterizing irreducible nodal curves of genus gg in the linear system L|{\mathcal L}| that do not contain the zero-dimensional orbits of SS. Severi irreducibility conjecture. The variety Virr(S,L,g)V^{\operatorname{irr}}(S,{\mathcal L},g) is either empty or irreducible. The conjecture predicts irreducibility of the relevant Severi varieties for toric surfaces in characteristic zero; the source recalls it as a conjecture from earlier work, while the supplied material gives no resolution.
