Cha's real-rootedness conjecture for arbor Ehrhart polynomials

From papers

Let σ\sigma be an arbor, and let Qσ\mathcal Q_\sigma be its arbor polytope. Cha's real-rootedness conjecture. All roots of the Ehrhart polynomial of Qσ\mathcal Q_\sigma are real and lie in the interval [1,0][-1,0] for every arbor σ\sigma. In particular, the hh^*-polynomial of Qσ\mathcal Q_\sigma has only real roots. This is attributed to Cha (2025); the source does not specify a resolution.
