Finite principal-specialization conjecture for chromatic symmetric functions of trees

Let NN be a positive integer, let qq be an indeterminate, and let TT and UU be trees with at most N+1N+1 vertices. Write XT(1,q,q2,,qN)X_T(1,q,q^2,\ldots,q^N) for the principal specialization of the chromatic symmetric function of TT.

Finite principal-specialization conjecture. For all such trees,

TUif and only ifXT(1,q,q2,,qN)=XU(1,q,q2,,qN).T\cong U \quad\text{if and only if}\quad X_T(1,q,q^2,\ldots,q^N)=X_U(1,q,q^2,\ldots,q^N).

The parser provides no resolution evidence for this finite version; it is presented in the paper as a conjectural analogue arising from principal specialization.
