Interior angle sum conjecture for horizontal-like geodesic triangles in Sol geometry

Let a horizontal-like geodesic triangle in Sol geometry have interior angles ω1(a),ω2(a),ω3(a)\omega_1(a),\omega_2(a),\omega_3(a), with parameter aR+a\in\mathbf{R}^+. Define its interior angle sum by

Ω(a)=i=13ωi(a).\Omega(a)=\sum_{i=1}^3\omega_i(a).

Interior angle sum conjecture. The sum of the interior angles of any horizontal-like geodesic triangle is greater than π\pi:

Ω(a)>π.\Omega(a)>\pi.

The surrounding discussion gives this result for the horizontal-like isosceles family and reports that Ω(a)\Omega(a) is strictly increasing, with limiting values π\pi as a0a\to0 and 3π/23\pi/2 as aa\to\infty. The parser supplies no evidence that the stated claim has been resolved beyond this family.
