Conjecture on the growth constant for harmonic measures on Z2\mathbb{Z}^2

From papers

Let ψ(Z2)\psi(\mathbb{Z}^2) denote the reciprocal extremal factor governing the exponential lower bound for positive harmonic measures on finite subsets of Z2\mathbb{Z}^2. The proposed extremal sets DnD_n satisfy HDn((0,0))=(2+3)2n+o(n)\mathbb{H}_{D_n}((0,0))=(2+\sqrt{3})^{-2n+o(n)}. Growth-constant conjecture.

ψ(Z2)=(2+3)2.\psi(\mathbb{Z}^2)=(2+\sqrt{3})^2.

If true, this gives the exact exponential rate associated with the least positive harmonic measures; the source says that proving this equality would suffice for the preceding extremal-value statement, but does not report a resolution.
