Prawitz's conjecture on logically valid inference rules

Let R\mathscr{R} be an inference rule, let J\mathfrak{J} be a justification structure, and let logical validity relative to J\mathfrak{J} mean validity relative to J\mathfrak{J} on every base B\mathfrak{B}. Let IL\texttt{IL} denote intuitionistic logic, and say that R\mathscr{R} is derivable in IL\texttt{IL} when adding R\mathscr{R} to IL\texttt{IL} does not yield any new derivable conclusions. Prawitz's conjecture. If R\mathscr{R} is logically valid relative to some J\mathfrak{J}, then R\mathscr{R} is derivable in IL\texttt{IL}.

The conjecture concerns completeness for inference rules in Prawitz's proof-theoretic semantics, rather than merely completeness for the associated logical-consequence relation. The paper discusses it in the monotonic miP-tV setting; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
