Pun's Demazure-character atom-positivity conjecture

Let α,βNm\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{N}^m, let κα\kappa_\alpha and κβ\kappa_\beta be Demazure characters, and let Aγ\mathcal{A}_\gamma denote the Demazure atom indexed by γ\gamma. Pun's conjecture. There exist nonnegative integers aβ,αγa_{\beta,\alpha}^{\gamma} such that

κβκα=γaβ,αγAγ.\kappa_{\beta}\kappa_{\alpha}=\sum_{\gamma}a_{\beta,\alpha}^{\gamma}\mathcal{A}_{\gamma}.

This is weaker than Polo's Schubert-character conjecture because Schubert characters expand nonnegatively into Demazure atoms. Pun proves the claim when α\alpha and β\beta have length at most 33 and at most 22 nonzero parts, but the general statement remains open.
