Conservation of half-angle tangents for polar Harmonic families

Let N>3N>3, and consider the Harmonic family, together with its polar image with respect to the circumcircle. For the associated polygon, let θi\theta_i denote the relevant angles. The sum of half-angle tangents is

itanθi2.\sum_i \tan\frac{\theta_i}{2}.

Polar Harmonic-family conjecture. The sum of half-angle tangents is conserved for the polar image of the Harmonic family, for all N>3N>3.

The claim extends the conservation law established immediately beforehand for the iso-X7X_7 triangle family to the polar image of the N>3N>3 Harmonic family. The source gives no resolution or further evidence of its status.
