Corteel--Dousse--Uncu positivity conjecture for cylindric partitions

From papers

For a nonnegative integer nn and a profile c=(c0,c1,c2)c=(c_0,c_1,c_2), define d:=c0+c1+c2d:=c_0+c_1+c_2, :=gcd(d,3)\ell:=\gcd(d,3), and

Qn,c(q):=(q;q)n[zn]((zq)GKc(z,q))Z[[q]].Q_{n,c}(q):=(q^{\ell};q^{\ell})_n[z^n]\bigl((zq)_\infty\operatorname{GK}_c(z,q)\bigr)\in\mathbb Z[[q]].

Assume d≢0(mod3)d\not\equiv0\pmod 3. Corteel--Dousse--Uncu's conjecture. The series Qn,(c0,c1,c2)(q)Q_{n,(c_0,c_1,c_2)}(q) is a polynomial in qq with nonnegative coefficients and

Qn,(c0,c1,c2)(1)=((d+1)(d+2)61)n.Q_{n,(c_0,c_1,c_2)}(1)=\left(\frac{(d+1)(d+2)}{6}-1\right)^n.

Polynomiality and the evaluation at 11 are known, but positivity remains open.
