Cube-ideal set conjecture for bounded non-agreement certificates

Let S{0,1}nS\subseteq\{0,1\}^n. Call SS cube-ideal if every facet of conv(S)\operatorname{conv}(S) is defined by xi0x_i\geq0, xi1x_i\leq1, or an inequality

iIxi+jJ(1xj)1\sum_{i\in I}x_i+\sum_{j\in J}(1-x_j)\geq1

for disjoint I,J[n]I,J\subseteq[n]. Points agree on a coordinate if they all lie in a common coordinate hyperplane xi=ax_i=a for some i[n]i\in[n] and a{0,1}a\in\{0,1\}.

Cube-ideal set conjecture. There exists an integer k4k\geq4 such that for every cube-ideal set, either all the points agree on a coordinate, or there is a subset of at most kk points that do not agree on a coordinate.

This is the cuboid reformulation of the main non-idealness conjecture. It asks for a uniformly bounded certificate of failure of coordinate agreement in cube-ideal sets.
