Existence of shard polytopes for congruence-uniform posets of regions

Let H\mathcal{H} be a hyperplane arrangement and let B\mathsf{B} be a base region such that the poset of regions PR(H,B)\mathsf{PR}(\mathcal{H},\mathsf{B}) is a congruence-uniform lattice. A shard polytope for a shard S\mathsf{S} is a polytope whose normal fan has walls containing S\mathsf{S} and contained in the union of shards forcing S\mathsf{S}. Shard-polytope existence conjecture. Every shard admits a shard polytope. This stronger conjecture would imply polytopality of all quotient fans in the preceding conjecture via Minkowski sums; it is motivated by the known type AA and type BB constructions and remains open in general.
