The left dual exceptional collection conjecture for the Xv\mathcal X_v's

From papers

Let G/B\mathbf G/\mathbf B be the generalized flag variety, let WW be its Weyl group with longest element w0w_0 and length function \ell, and let Xv\mathcal X_v be the objects indexed by vWv\in W introduced in the paper. Let L(ρ)\mathcal L(\rho) denote the line bundle associated with ρ\rho. Left dual exceptional collection conjecture. The left dual exceptional collection to the Xv\mathcal X_v's consists of

Xw0vL(ρ)[(w0v)].\mathcal X_{w_0v}\otimes\mathcal L(\rho)[-\ell(w_0v)].

This would identify the left dual collection explicitly and provide the expected exceptional-collection structure over the generalized flag variety. The claim is presented as conjectural and is supported by the preceding vanishing and one-dimensional cohomology computations, but no proof or resolution is given here.
