Classification conjecture for symmetric positive period 1 polynomials

Let P=P(x1,,xn1)P=P(x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1}) be a symmetric polynomial with positive coefficients that generates a period 11 seed. Symmetric-polynomial classification conjecture. The only possibilities are either

P=i=1n1xi2+M(x1,,xn1),P=\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}x_i^2+M(x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1}),

where MM is any multilinear symmetric polynomial, or, when nn is odd,

P=1i<jn1xixj+Ai=1n1xi+B.P=\sum_{1\leq i<j\leq n-1}x_ix_j+A\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}x_i+B.

This proposes a classification within the symmetric positive case. The source gives no resolution.
