Detection of the element t by the sixth algebraic transfer

Let A\mathscr A be the Steenrod algebra over F2\mathbb F_2, and let

tExtA6,6+36(F2,F2)t\in \operatorname{Ext}^{6,6+36}_{\mathscr A}(\mathbb F_2,\mathbb F_2)

be the specified nonzero element. Let Tr6(F2)Tr_6(\mathbb F_2) denote the sixth algebraic transfer.

Detection conjecture. The nonzero element tt is detected by the sixth algebraic transfer Tr6(F2)Tr_6(\mathbb F_2).

The claim concerns whether the element tt lies in the image of the sixth algebraic transfer. The source explicitly says that this is not known before proposing the claim, and provides no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
