Congruence conjecture for prime-colored overpartitions

From papers

Let pq(n)\overline{p}_{-q}(n) denote the number of qq-colored overpartitions of nn, where qq is prime. Congruence conjecture. For all n0n\geq 0 and primes qq, one has

pq(8n+1)0(mod2),pq(8n+2)0(mod4),pq(8n+3)0(mod8),pq(8n+4)0(mod2),pq(8n+5)0(mod8),pq(8n+6)0(mod8),pq(8n+7)0(mod32).\begin{aligned} \overline{p}_{-q}(8n+1) &\equiv 0 \pmod{2},\\ \overline{p}_{-q}(8n+2) &\equiv 0 \pmod{4},\\ \overline{p}_{-q}(8n+3) &\equiv 0 \pmod{8},\\ \overline{p}_{-q}(8n+4) &\equiv 0 \pmod{2},\\ \overline{p}_{-q}(8n+5) &\equiv 0 \pmod{8},\\ \overline{p}_{-q}(8n+6) &\equiv 0 \pmod{8},\\ \overline{p}_{-q}(8n+7) &\equiv 0 \pmod{32}. \end{aligned}

The conjecture generalizes the proved congruences for q=5,7,11,q=5,7,11, and 1313 established earlier in the paper, and predicts further congruences for all prime numbers of colors. Its general case remains open in the supplied source.
