Armstrong's rank and co-skew-length symmetry conjecture for coprime cores

From papers

Let aa and bb be relatively prime positive integers, and let κ\kappa range over all (a,b)(a,b)-core partitions. Write rk(κ)\operatorname{rk}(\kappa) for the rank, and define the co-skew length by

sl(κ):=(a1)(b1)2sl(κ).\operatorname{sl}'(\kappa):=\frac{(a-1)(b-1)}{2}-\operatorname{sl}(\kappa).

Armstrong's rank and co-skew-length symmetry conjecture. The following q,tq,t-polynomials are equal:

κqrk(κ)tsl(κ)=κqsl(κ)trk(κ),\sum_{\kappa}q^{\operatorname{rk}(\kappa)}t^{\operatorname{sl}'(\kappa)} = \sum_{\kappa}q^{\operatorname{sl}'(\kappa)}t^{\operatorname{rk}(\kappa)},

where both sums are over all (a,b)(a,b)-cores κ\kappa. This conjecture predicts a symmetry exchanging rank and co-skew length in the joint enumeration of coprime core partitions; the source gives no resolution status.
