The nonnegative invariant-polynomial conjecture in dimension three

For d6d\geq 6, define

Qd(a1,a2)=Td((a1+a2)/2,(a1a2)/2)a12a22.Q_d(a_1,a_2)=-\frac{T_d\left((a_1+a_2)/\sqrt{2},(a_1-a_2)/\sqrt{2}\right)}{a_1^2-a_2^2}.

Here R0[a12+a22,a12a22]\mathbb{R}_{\geq0}[a_1^2+a_2^2,a_1^2a_2^2] denotes the polynomials in the two displayed generators with nonnegative real coefficients. Nonnegative invariant-polynomial conjecture. One has

Qd(a1,a2)R0[a12+a22,a12a22].Q_d(a_1,a_2)\in\mathbb{R}_{\geq0}[a_1^2+a_2^2,a_1^2a_2^2].

This is stated as a strengthening of the type-DD sign conjecture for n=3n=3, replacing a sign prediction by coefficientwise nonnegativity in the relevant invariant variables. The source does not provide a resolution.
