Shelah's consistency conjecture for Specker orders and Aronszajn trees

From papers

Let a Specker order and the orders I,JI,J be as described immediately before the statement. Let TT be an Aronszajn tree, let c:T2c:T\to 2, and write T\leq_T for its tree order. Shelah's consistency conjecture. It is consistent that any Specker order contains a suborder as above, and that if I,JI,J are as above, then I,JI,J or JJ^* have uncountable isomorphic suborders. Equivalently, for every Aronszajn tree TT and every coloring c:T2c:T\to 2, there are an uncountable XTX\subseteq T and 0,1\ell\notin\\{0,1\\} such that for every distinct x,yXx,y\in X, the maximal zTx,yz\leq_T x,y satisfies c(z)=c(z)=\ell.

The source says that the second consistency assertion is proved by a cited construction; the supplied status evidence says the associated claim is resolved by constructing a very special Aronszajn tree.
