Conjecture on large strictly stable STCMC surfaces in asymptotically Schwarzschildean lightcones

Let N\mathcal{N} be an asymptotically Schwarzschildean lightcone. Let Σ\Sigma be a strictly stable STCMC surface with area radius ρ\rho, and let Bσ(B1,B2,B3)B_\sigma(B_1,B_2,B_3) denote the a-priori class used in the paper. Large-surface gauge conjecture. Any strictly stable STCMC surface Σ\Sigma lies in the a-priori class Bσ(B1,B2,B3)B_\sigma(B_1,B_2,B_3) for suitable values of B1,B2,B3B_1,B_2,B_3 if its area radius ρ\rho is sufficiently large. This would justify the chosen gauge and, if true, allow the main foliation result to be stated in a gauge-independent geometric form. The conjecture is motivated by the corresponding result in the Schwarzschild lightcone, while the source notes that analogous Riemannian counterexamples make such a statement unavailable under weaker asymptotics without additional conditions.
