Newton non-degeneracy conjecture for Weierstrass inflectionary curves

Let n=2n=2\ell, assume that char(F)\operatorname{char}(F) is zero or sufficiently positive, and let Pm,P^{\ell,*}_m be the atomic inflection polynomial of yn=x3+λx+2y^n=x^3+\lambda x+2. For even mm, consider its restriction to the edge [vm1,vm4][v_m^1,v_m^4] of the local Newton polygon; for odd mm, consider the restriction to [vm3,vm4][v_m^3,v_m^4]. Weierstrass Newton non-degeneracy conjecture. These restrictions are Newton non-degenerate for every m6m\geq6. Newton non-degeneracy would control the embedded toric resolution and local singularity type, but the supplied text gives no resolution of the assertion.
