Existence of a twisted scheme for residual categories of quadric surface bundles

Let p ⁣:QSp\colon \mathcal{Q}\to S be a quadric surface bundle. Write S2S_2 and S3S_3 for the loci where the fibers have corank at least 22 and 33, respectively, and let AQ\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{Q}} denote its residual category. Residual-category conjecture. If pp has simple degeneration generically and every fiber has corank at most 22, equivalently S2SS_2\neq S and S3=S_3=\emptyset, then there is a twisted scheme (Y,αY)(Y,\alpha_Y) such that

AQDb(Y,αY).\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{Q}}\cong \mathbf{D}^{\mathrm{b}}(Y,\alpha_Y).

For simple degeneration, the residual category is known to be equivalent to a twisted derived category of the discriminant double cover; the conjecture predicts an analogous twisted-scheme description when corank-two fibers occur, despite the more complicated singularities and reducible Hilbert schemes of lines.
