Cotangent-stack invariance conjecture for Coulomb and Higgs categories

Let \calY\calY and \calY\calY' be stacks such that their cotangent dg-stacks are isomorphic as symplectic dg-stacks. Write \calCC(\calY)\calC_C(\calY) and \calCH(\calY)\calC_H(\calY) for the corresponding Coulomb and Higgs factorization categories, and \calFC(\calY)\calF_C(\calY) for the canonical Coulomb object. Cotangent-stack invariance conjecture. The corresponding Z2\mathbb Z_2-graded versions of \calCC(\calY)\calC_C(\calY) and \calCC(\calY)\calC_C(\calY') are equivalent as Z2\mathbb Z_2-graded factorization categories, with an equivalence sending \calFC(\calY)\calF_C(\calY) to \calFC(\calY)\calF_C(\calY'); the analogous statement holds for \calCH\calC_H. This suggests that these categorical structures depend, at least after forgetting the integer grading, only on the symplectic cotangent dg-stack; the source gives no resolution.
