Garvan–Jennings-Shaffer nonnegativity conjecture for M_C1 and M_C5

From papers

Let MC1(m,n)M_{C1}(m,n) and MC5(m,n)M_{C5}(m,n) be the coefficients defined by the corresponding two-variable generating functions in the source, with mZm\in\mathbb{Z} and nNn\in\mathbb{N}, where N\mathbb{N} denotes the positive integers. Garvan–Jennings-Shaffer nonnegativity conjecture. For every mZm\in\mathbb{Z} and nNn\in\mathbb{N}, both MC1(m,n)M_{C1}(m,n) and MC5(m,n)M_{C5}(m,n) are nonnegative. The paper's title states that this conjecture is proved, so its status is solved; the claim concerns the nonnegativity of coefficients associated with the rank-like functions MC1M_{C1} and MC5M_{C5}.
