Involution Schubert polynomial expansion conjecture in P- and Q-key polynomials

From papers

Let zz index an involution Schubert polynomial, with SzSp\frac{}{}\mathfrak S^{\mathsf{Sp}}_z denoting the symplectic polynomial and SzO\mathfrak S^{\mathsf{O}}_z the orthogonal polynomial. Let PP-key polynomials and QQ-key polynomials be the shifted key-polynomial families introduced in the paper.

Involution Schubert expansion conjecture. Each involution Schubert polynomial SzSp\mathfrak S^{\mathsf{Sp}}_z (respectively, SzO\mathfrak S^{\mathsf{O}}_z) is an N\mathbb{N}-linear combination of PP-key polynomials (respectively, QQ-key polynomials).

These expansions would extend the positivity phenomena known for stable involution Schubert polynomials and provide a finite shifted-key analogue of Schur PP- and QQ-function expansions. The source presents this as a conjecture and gives no resolution.
