The right-ideal characterization of ultrametric-preserving monoids

Let A\mathbf{A} be a subset of the monoid PPU=(PPU,,1PPU)\mathbf{P_{PU}}=(\mathbf{P_{PU}},\circ,1_{\mathbf{P_{PU}}}), and define

X:={(R+,gd+):gA}.\mathbf{X}:=\{(\mathbb{R}^+,g\circ d^+):g\in\mathbf{A}\}.

Let RAR_{\mathbf{A}} be the set of all right ideals of [A]PPU[\mathbf{A}]_{\mathbf{P_{PU}}}, and write

R:=RRAR.\overline{R}:=\bigcup_{R\in R_{\mathbf{A}}}R.

For a subsemigroup SS of a monoid MM, write S1MS^{1_M} for SS together with the identity of MM when that identity is not already in SS.

Right-ideal characterization conjecture. If 1PPU1_{\mathbf{P_{PU}}} belongs to A\mathbf{A}, then

R1PPU=PX.\overline{R}^{1_{\mathbf{P_{PU}}}}=\mathbf{P}_{\mathbf{X}}.

This is posed as a request to prove or disprove a characterization of the monoid generated by the associated ultrametric-preserving functions in terms of the union of right ideals. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the claim remains open.
