The Poncelet inellipse concentricity conjecture for Simson-line envelopes

Let a Poncelet triangle family be inscribed in a circle with inconic or caustic, and let FF vary over the circumcircle. For each FF, let WW be the envelope point of the corresponding Simson lines. Inellipse concentricity conjecture. Over all FF, the locus of WW is an ellipse concentric with the inconic or caustic. The surrounding discussion reports this as a further geometric pattern for circle-inscribed Poncelet families; its general validity remains open.
