Closure of strong Keller maps under composition

Let kk be a field of characteristic pp. A strong Keller map is a polynomial endomorphism in SKEn(k)\operatorname{SKE}_n(k) satisfying the universal Keller equations. Composition conjecture. The set SKEn(k)\operatorname{SKE}_n(k) is closed under composition:

f,gSKEn(k)fgSKEn(k).f,g\in \operatorname{SKE}_n(k)\quad\Longrightarrow\quad f\circ g\in \operatorname{SKE}_n(k).

The paper proves a bounded-degree, bounded-coefficient version for sufficiently large pp, but leaves the unrestricted characteristic-pp statement as the generic case that remains unresolved.
