The conjectured exact closed-rich constant of the Fibonacci word

From papers

Let ff be the infinite Fibonacci word, let CfC_f be its closed-rich constant, and let ϕ=1+52\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} be the golden ratio. Fibonacci closed-rich constant conjecture. For ff,

Cf=5ϕ+3ϕ2(ϕ3+2)20.10893.C_f=\frac{5\phi+3}{\phi^2(\phi^3+2)^2}\approx0.10893.

This conjecture is presented as a consequence of the preceding conjectured formula for the first-difference sequence. The paper does not report a proof or a resolution.
