Bipartiteness conjecture for graphs with the complete identity property after attaching trees

Let GG be a connected graph. A graph has the complete identity property if every vertex can serve as the sink and the recurrent identity is the same configuration. If, for every vertex vGv\in G, attaching a single tree of size 11 to vv results in a graph with the complete identity property, then

Bipartiteness conjecture. GG is bipartite.

The conjecture is motivated by a computer search showing that every connected graph with at most 1010 vertices having this property is bipartite, although not every bipartite graph has the property. Its general validity remains open.
