Huang's conjecture on local obstructions in Zaremba theory

Let ANA\subset\mathbb N be a finite alphabet and let XAX_A be its limit set. For each mNm\in\mathbb N, define reduction modulo mm by

πm ⁣:Z+Zm={0,1,2,,m1},πm(q)=q(modm).\pi_m\colon\mathbb Z_+\to\mathbb Z_m=\{0,1,2,\ldots,m-1\},\qquad \pi_m(q)=q\pmod m.

The alphabet AA has no local obstructions if, for every m1m\geq1, the set of denominators of reduced rationals represented by finite continued fractions with digits in AA has image Zm\mathbb Z_m under πm\pi_m. Huang's conjecture. If

dimH(XA)>56,\dim_H(X_A)>\frac56,

then AA has no local obstructions. This predicts that sufficiently large Hausdorff dimension rules out every congruence obstruction to the Zaremba-type denominator problem; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
