Equality of the Eulerian and doubled half-Eulerian flag-vector cones

From papers

Let CEn+1{\cal C}^{n+1}_{\cal E} be the closed cone of flag vectors of Eulerian posets of rank n+1n+1, and let CDn+1{\cal C}^{n+1}_{\cal D} be the closed cone of flag vectors of horizontal doubles of half-Eulerian posets of rank n+1n+1.

Cone equality conjecture. The two cones are equal:

CEn+1=CDn+1.{\cal C}^{n+1}_{\cal E}={\cal C}^{n+1}_{\cal D}.

For low ranks the cones coincide, and no Eulerian poset is known whose flag vector lies outside the cone generated by doubled half-Eulerian posets. The conjecture would identify all closed-cone limits of Eulerian flag vectors with those arising from horizontal doubles.
