Uniform Berry–Esseen conjecture for Rademacher sums

Let x1,,xnx_1,\ldots,x_n be independent random variables uniformly distributed in {1,1}\{-1,1\}, and let

X=iaixiX=\sum_i a_i x_i

be a Rademacher sum with Var(X)=1\operatorname{Var}(X)=1 and 0<aia10<a_i\leq a_1 for every ii. Let ZN(0,1)Z\sim N(0,1) be a standard Gaussian, and let xRx\in\mathbb R. Berry–Esseen conjecture.

Pr[Xx]Pr[Zx]Pr[Z(0,a1)]<a12π.\left|\Pr[X\leq x]-\Pr[Z\leq x]\right|\leq \Pr[Z\in(0,a_1)]<\frac{a_1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}.

This is proposed as a natural extension of a previously proved bound for coefficients bounded by 0.220.22. The source presents it as an open problem, with no resolution supplied.
