Explicit projector formula for spinor tensor products

Let λ=(λ1,,λp)\lambda=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_p) be a Young diagram with λ1+λ22k\lambda_1+\lambda_2\leq 2k and pnp\leq n. Let SS denote the spinor object, let y~λ\tilde y_\lambda be the minimal idempotent associated with λ\lambda, and let P~+(λi)\tilde P_+(\lambda_i) and P~(λi)\tilde P_-(\lambda_i) be the idempotents determined by the parity of λi\lambda_i. Define

b=(λ1+1/2,,λp+1/2,1/2,,1/2).b=(\lambda_1+1/2,\ldots,\lambda_p+1/2,1/2,\ldots,1/2).

The explicit projector formula. The idempotent projecting λS\lambda\otimes S onto the simple object indexed by bb is

pbλS=(y~λidS)(P~1(λ1)id)(idP~p(λp))(y~λidS),p^{\lambda S}_b=(\tilde y_\lambda\otimes id_S)(\tilde P_1(\lambda_1)\otimes id)\cdots(id\otimes\tilde P_p(\lambda_p))(\tilde y_\lambda\otimes id_S),

where

P~i(λi)={P~+(λi),λi=0mod2,P~(λi),λi=1mod2.\tilde P_i(\lambda_i)=\begin{cases} \tilde P_+(\lambda_i),&\lambda_i=0\mod 2,\\ \tilde P_-(\lambda_i),&\lambda_i=1\mod 2. \end{cases}

This would give an explicit construction of the remaining projector in the inductive construction of simple objects in the orthogonal modular category. The source says that the statement is hoped to be proved in the future, and provides no resolution.
