Equivariant smoothing criterion for antisymplectic cusp singularities

Let (pX)(p\in X) be a cusp singularity equipped with an antisymplectic involution ι\iota fixed point free on X{p}X\setminus\{p\}, and let DD be its dual cycle. Let YY be a smooth rational surface containing DD as an anticanonical divisor, and let jj be an antisymplectic involution on YY. Equivariant smoothing conjecture. The singularity pXp\in X admits an equivariant smoothing with respect to the Z/2Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}-action induced by ι\iota if and only if jj is fixed point free on YDY\setminus D and extends the involution induced on DD by ι\iota. This is the paper's proposed necessary-and-sufficient criterion, modeled on the proved nonequivariant criterion for cusp smoothability; it remains open.
