Parity conjecture for coefficients of the odd triangular partition series

From papers

Let To(q)=n0to(n)qnT_o(q)=\sum_{n\geq 0}t_o(n)q^n, and let nn be a nonnegative integer. Parity conjecture. If 8n+98n+9 has a prime divisor p5,7(mod8)p\equiv 5,7\pmod{8} to odd exponent, equivalently if 8n+98n+9 is not represented by x2+2y2x^2+2y^2, then

to(n)0(mod2).t_o(n)\equiv 0\pmod{2}.

This predicts evenness of the relevant coefficients at indices characterized by the arithmetic condition on 8n+98n+9. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
