Steel's lightface Levy-hierarchy mouse set conjecture

From papers

Assume ZF+AD+DC+V=L(R)ZF + AD + DC + V=L(\mathbb{R}). A mouse set is a set XRX\subseteq\mathbb{R} for which there is an ω1+1\omega_1+1-iterable premouse MM with X=MRX=M\cap\mathbb{R}. Let Γ\Gamma be a level of the lightface Levy hierarchy, and let CΓC_\Gamma denote the associated canonical pointset. Steel's conjecture. The set CΓC_\Gamma is a mouse set. This asks whether every lightface Levy-hierarchy pointclass has a mouse corresponding exactly to it; the paper reports partial progress, including the case Γ=Σ2(J2(R))\Gamma=\Sigma_2(J_2(\mathbb{R})), while the general conjecture remains open.
