Berkovich skeleton complement conjecture for virtual open disks

Let KK be a complete discrete valued field with equal characteristic 00, and let X\mathcal{X} be a smooth proper integral variety of dimension nn over KK. Write Xan\mathcal{X}^{\textsf{an}} for its Berkovich analytification, let Skess(Xan)\textsf{Sk}^{\textsf{ess}}(\mathcal{X}^{\textsf{an}}) denote its essential skeleton, and call an open subset a virtual open disk when it is a Berkovich virtual open disk of relative dimension 11. Berkovich skeleton complement conjecture. For every point xXanx\in\mathcal{X}^{\textsf{an}}, xx is contained in an open virtual disk if and only if xx is not contained in Skess(Xan)\textsf{Sk}^{\textsf{ess}}(\mathcal{X}^{\textsf{an}}). The authors prove this when X\mathcal{X} admits a strictly semistable model with semiample canonical class; the general case remains open.
