Česnavičius's compactification conjecture for isotrivial reductive groups

From papers

Let SS be a Noetherian scheme and let GG be an isotrivial reductive group over SS, meaning that GG becomes split after a finite étale cover of SS. A GG-equivariant SS-fiberwise dense open immersion is an open immersion whose restriction to every fiber of SS is dense and which is compatible with the left action of GG. Česnavičius's compactification conjecture. There are a projective, finitely presented SS-scheme G\overline{G} equipped with a left GG-action and a GG-equivariant SS-fiberwise dense open immersion

GG.G \hookrightarrow \overline{G}.

This conjecture asks for an equivariant projective compactification of every isotrivial reductive group scheme. The paper's abstract states that the conjecture is verified by constructing a smooth projective compactification; the supplied status is unknown, so the database status is left open pending confirmation of the resolution.
