Sun's refined 1-3-5 conjecture with a square or three-times-square coordinate

Let x,y,z,tN0x,y,z,t\in\mathbb{N}_0. A representation of a positive integer as four squares is an expression

m=x2+y2+z2+t2.m=x^2+y^2+z^2+t^2.

Sun's refined 1-3-5 conjecture. Any positive integer can be represented in this way with x+3y+5zx+3y+5z a square, and with at least one of the following properties: xx is three times a square, yy is a square, or zz is a square. The paper introduces this as a conjecture used in its computational work, but the supplied text does not state a resolution of this refinement.
