The stability criterion for McCammond expansions

Let (S,A)(S,A) be a finite semigroup with generating set AA, and let KR(S,A)\mathsf{KR}(S,A) and Mc\mathsf{Mc} denote the Karnofsky–Rhodes and McCammond expansions, respectively. The expansion is stable under Mc\mathsf{Mc} when McKR(S,A)=KR(S,A)\mathsf{Mc}\circ\mathsf{KR}(S,A)=\mathsf{KR}(S,A). Stability criterion conjecture. KR(S,A)\mathsf{KR}(S,A) is stable under Mc\mathsf{Mc} if and only if McKR(S,A)\mathsf{Mc}\circ\mathsf{KR}(S,A) is a right Cayley graph; equivalently, if Mc\mathsf{Mc} changes any of the R\mathscr{R}-classes of KR(S,A)\mathsf{KR}(S,A), then McKR(S,A)\mathsf{Mc}\circ\mathsf{KR}(S,A) cannot be a right Cayley graph. This criterion relates the expansion's stability to whether the resulting graph retains the structure of a right Cayley graph. No resolution is given in the supplied text.
