Eventual alternating-group containment for cactus-group images

From papers

Let CnC_n be the cactus group acting on the set of standard Young tableaux of a partition, and let ANA_N denote the alternating group on NN tableaux, where NN is the number of standard Young tableaux. A partition is generic when its Young diagram fits into the prescribed square grid. Alternating-group containment conjecture. There exists some mm such that, for all generic partitions with n>mn>m boxes, the image of CnC_n is contained in ANA_N:

im(Cn)AN.\operatorname{im}(C_n)\subseteq A_N.

This is presented as a consequence of the preceding eventual-evenness conjecture and concerns the eventual parity of the cactus-group action on standard Young tableaux. The source gives no resolution, so the claim remains open.
