Shellability conjecture for P1P_1 intervals avoiding two patterns

Let P1P_1 be the permutation class denoted by P1P_1 in the source, and let π\pi be a permutation in P1P_1. Write [1,π][\textbf{1},\pi] for the interval from the one-element permutation to π\pi in the permutation pattern poset. Shellability conjecture. If π\pi avoids both patterns 456123456123 and 356124356124, then

[1,π][\textbf{1},\pi]

is shellable. This is the positive formulation of the preceding obstruction claim; the source gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
