Per-split sub-top coefficient conjecture for Miura-ori flip-graph counts

From papers

Let d5d\ge5, let (a,b)(a,b) satisfy a+b=da+b=d and aba\le b, and let R(a,b)(m,n)R_{(a,b)}(m,n) be the interior remainder. Denote by [md3]R(a,b)(m,n)[m^{d-3}]R_{(a,b)}(m,n) the coefficient of md3m^{d-3}; by symmetry, this is equivalently the coefficient of nd3n^{d-3}. Sub-top coefficient conjecture.

[md3]R(a,b)(m,n)={8(1+δab)(d3)!if ab1,0if ab>1.[m^{d-3}]R_{(a,b)}(m,n)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{8(1+\delta_{ab})}{(d-3)!}&\text{if }|a-b|\le1,\\[2pt]0&\text{if }|a-b|>1. \end{cases}

The conjecture refines the proposed degree bound by specifying the pure sub-top coefficient for every split; the stated vanishing has been checked in the finite cases reported in the source, but a general proof remains open.
