Shokurov's canonical confinement conjecture for log-canonically saturated b-divisors

Let (Y,BY)(Y',B_{Y'}) be a pair, and let M(Y,BY)\mathfrak{M}(Y',B_{Y'}) denote the set of b-free b-divisors that are log canonically saturated, meaning

MovM+AM.\operatorname{Mov}\left\lceil\mathcal{M}+\mathcal{A}\right\rceil\leq\mathcal{M}.

A model has canonically confined singularities for this set if, for some c>0c>0, each MM(Y,BY)\mathcal{M}\in\mathfrak{M}(Y',B_{Y'}) has a member MM\mathcal{M}'\in|\mathcal{M}| whose boundary together with cMc\mathcal{M}' is canonical. CCS conjecture. There is a bounded family of models on which M(Y,BY)\mathfrak{M}(Y',B_{Y'}) has canonically confined singularities: for each MM(Y,BY)\mathcal{M}\in\mathfrak{M}(Y',B_{Y'}), there are a crepant terminal model (YM,BM)(Y'_{\mathcal{M}},B_{\mathcal{M}}) and MM\mathcal{M}'\in|\mathcal{M}| such that

BYM+cMYMB_{Y_{\mathcal{M}}}+c\mathcal{M}'_{Y'_{\mathcal{M}}}

is canonical. Moreover, if (Y,BY)/T(Y,B_Y)/T is birational, the family can be taken finite; for the problem considered in the paper, it can be taken to consist of one model.
