Shokurov's codimension bound conjecture for minimal log discrepancies

From papers

Let (X,B)(X,B) be a log variety and let ηX\eta \in X be a Grothendieck point. The invariant a(η;B)a(\eta;B) is the minimal log discrepancy at η\eta.

Shokurov's codimension bound conjecture. The following inequality holds:

a(η;B)codimη.a(\eta;B) \le \operatorname{codim} \eta.

Moreover, XX is nonsingular in η\eta if

a(η;B)>codimη1.a(\eta;B)>\operatorname{codim} \eta-1.

This conjecture proposes a sharp upper bound for minimal log discrepancies and includes a criterion detecting nonsingularity. The source says that it had been proved up to codimension three, but gives no complete resolution status.
