Conjecture on stationary orthocenters in Poncelet triangle families

Let X4X_4 be the orthocenter of a Poncelet triangle family interscribed between two conics. The configurations called focal-X4X_4, MacBeath, and Dual are the three configurations identified in the source. Stationary-orthocenter conjecture. A Poncelet triangle family maintains X4X_4 stationary only if the conics are configured as focal-X4X_4, MacBeath, or Dual. The source exhibits these configurations and states the classification as a conjecture; no resolution is provided.
