The PFA superstrong-cardinal conjecture for HOD

From papers

Let \force\force denote the Proper Forcing Axiom, let θ-UB\theta\text{-}\rm{UB} denote the relevant universally Baire framework, and let Rg{\mathbb{R}}_g and Γg\Gamma^\infty_g be the reals and universally Baire sets obtained from a generic gg as in the statement. The PFA superstrong-cardinal conjecture. Assume the Proper Forcing Axiom and let κ\textgreater=ω2\kappa\textgreater= \omega_2. If gColl(ω,κ)g\subseteq\rm{Coll}(\omega,\kappa), then

HODL(Γg,Rg)“there is a superstrong cardinal”.{\rm{HOD}}^{L(\Gamma^\infty_g,{\mathbb{R}}_g)}\vDash “\text{there is a superstrong cardinal}”.

This is presented as a natural target for reflecting the large-cardinal complexity of the ambient universe into the HOD of a determinacy model; the supplied passage does not state whether it has been resolved.
