Conjecture on the weighted sum of the triangular-number Möbius function

From papers

Let T(i)=12i(i+1)\mathcal T(i)=\frac12 i(i+1) be the ii-th triangular number, let iTji\leq_{\mathcal T}j mean that T(i)\mathcal T(i) divides T(j)\mathcal T(j), and let μT\mu_{\mathcal T} be the Möbius function of the poset (N,T)(\mathbb N,\leq_{\mathcal T}). Weighted-sum conjecture. There is a positive constant EE such that

limni=1nμT(i)i=E.\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{\mu_{\mathcal T}(i)}{i}=-E.

This appears in the paper's section of further questions as a proposed asymptotic statistic for μT\mu_{\mathcal T}; the supplied text gives no evidence of a proof or disproof.
