Andrews–Bachraoui conjecture on the values of b2(n)b_2''(n)

From papers

Let b2(n)b_2”(n) be the signed count associated with partitions whose parts greater than 11 lie in [2k,2l1][2k,2l-1], whose smallest even part is 2k2k, whose number of ones is l1l-1, and whose odd parts greater than 11 are distinct; each partition with jj parts greater than 11 has weight (1)j+1(-1)^{j+1}. Andrews–Bachraoui conjecture. For any positive integer nn,

b2(n){1,0,1,2}.b_2”(n)\in\{-1,0,1,2\}.

This is the range assertion identified in the source as the original second conjecture. No resolution is supplied in the given text.
