Modulo-two orbit conjecture for the Hecke group of the double heptagon

About 1 year old · traced to

Let λ7=2cos⁡(π/7)\lambda_7=2\cos(\pi/7), let H7H_7 be the Hecke group acting on Q[λ7]∪{∞}\mathbb{Q}[\lambda_7]\cup\{\infty\}, and let H‾7\overline{H}_7 be its reduction modulo two acting on P1(O‾)\mathbb{P}^1(\overline{\mathcal{O}}). For s=x/y∈Q[λ7]s=x/y\in\mathbb{Q}[\lambda_7], write [x‾:y‾][\overline{x}:\overline{y}] for its reduced projective coordinates, and let Ψ\Psi denote reduction modulo two.

Modulo-two orbit conjecture. An element s=xy∈Q[λ7]s=\frac{x}{y}\in\mathbb{Q}[\lambda_7] belongs to H7⋅∞H_7\cdot\infty if and only if [x‾:y‾][\overline{x}:\overline{y}] belongs to the orbit of [1‾:0‾][\overline{1}:\overline{0}] under H‾7\overline{H}_7. Equivalently,

H7⋅∞=Ψ−1(H‾7⋅Ψ(∞)).H_7\cdot\infty=\Psi^{-1}(\overline{H}_7\cdot\Psi(\infty)).

If true, this would characterize connection points on the double heptagon through the parity of the denominator and the reduced Hecke-group orbit. The source gives no resolution.
