The Delta square conjecture in the fall version

For n,kNn,k\in\mathbb{N} with n>0n>0, let Θek\Theta_{e_k}, \nabla, and ω\omega be the indicated symmetric-function operators, let pnp_n be the power-sum symmetric function, and let LRP(n+k,n+k)k\mathsf{LRP}(n+k,n+k)_{\ast k} denote the relevant fall-decorated labeled square paths of size n+kn+k. Delta square conjecture, fall version.

Θekω(pn)=πLRP(n+k,n+k)kqdinv(π)tarea(π)xπ.\Theta_{e_k}\nabla\omega(p_n)=\sum_{\pi\in\mathsf{LRP}(n+k,n+k)_{\ast k}}q^{\mathsf{dinv}(\pi)}t^{\mathsf{area}(\pi)}x^\pi.

The source says this is suggested by computer experiments and presents it as a fall-decorated alternative; its status is unresolved in the supplied text.
