The crystalline companion conjecture for irreducible local systems

Let SS be the base scheme, let XX be the relevant smooth variety over SS with boundary divisors DiD_i, and let TiT_i prescribe the monodromy at infinity. Suppose there is one, or infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic, irreducible topological rank rr complex local system(s) LC\mathbb L_{\mathbb C} with torsion determinant L\mathcal L and quasi-unipotent monodromies in TiT_i at infinity. Crystalline companion conjecture. There is a non-empty open subscheme SSS^\circ\subset S such that, for every closed point sSs\in |S|, there is one, or infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic, Frobenius-invariant isocrystal(s) MsM_{s'} on XsX_{s'} (respectively, MsαM_{s_\alpha}, each defined on some XsαX_{s_\alpha}), where sss'\to s and sαss_\alpha\to s are closed points, with determinant L\mathcal L as an FF-isocrystal and residues modulo Z\mathbb Z along Di,sˉD_{i,\bar s} equal to the logarithms of the eigenvalues of TiT_i. This is the expected \ell-to-pp companion statement for Deligne's conjecture; the cited theorem would imply it if such companions exist, but the source presents the assertion as conjectural.
