Semi-specializability of Chebyshev polynomial products for multiples of four

From papers

Let Tm(x)T_m(x) denote the Chebyshev polynomial of index mm, and let \ell be a non-zero multiple of 44. Consider

n=0(1+1Tn(x)).\prod_{n=0}^{\infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{T_{\ell^n}(x)}\right).

A continued fraction is semi-specializable if it has the partial specialization property defined in the paper, without necessarily being fully specializable. Chebyshev product conjecture. The product has a semi-specializable continued fraction expansion. The preceding discussion observes semi-specializability for 0(mod4)\ell\equiv0\pmod 4 but does not establish it; the claim concerns the anticipated general pattern for these Chebyshev products.
