COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) == 2 (mod 4) at n = 2*k for all k > 0 that have an odd number of partitions (A052002), otherwise a(n) == 0 (mod 4) when n > 0.

FORMULA
G.f. A(x) satisfies:
(1) 2/P(x) = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(n*(n+1)/2) * A(x)^n, where P(x) = 1/Product_{n>=1} (1 - x^n) is the partition function (A000041)..
(2) 2 = Product_{n>=1} (1 - x^n*A(x)) * (1 - x^(n-1)/A(x)), by the Jacobi triple product identity.
a(n) ~ c * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = 8.2221649228195625... and c = 1.06682907735826... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 14 2023
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 4*x + 14*x^2 + 84*x^3 + 444*x^4 + 2928*x^5 + 18214*x^6 + 125428*x^7 + 844534*x^8 + 5989816*x^9 + 42186878*x^10 + ...
such that
2 = (1 + x*A(x))*(1 + 1/A(x)) * (1 + x^2*A(x))*(1 + x/A(x)) * (1 + x^3*A(x))*(1 + x^2/A(x)) * (1 + x^4*A(x))*(1 + x^3/A(x)) * (1 + x^5*A(x))*(1 + x^4/A(x)) * ...
also,
2/P(x) = ... + x^10/A(x)^5 + x^6/A(x)^4 + x^3/A(x)^3 + x/A(x)^2 + 1/A(x) + 1 + x*A(x) + x^3*A(x)^2 + x^6*A(x)^3 + x^10*A(x)^4 + ... + x^(n*(n+1)/2) * A(x)^n + ...
where P(x) is the partition function and begins
P(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 7*x^5 + 11*x^6 + 15*x^7 + 22*x^8 + 30*x^9 + 42*x^10 + 56*x^11 + 77*x^12 + ... + A000041(n)*x^n + ...
and
2/P(x) = 2 - 2*x - 2*x^2 + 2*x^5 + 2*x^7 - 2*x^12 - 2*x^15 + 2*x^22 + 2*x^26 - 2*x^35 - 2*x^40 + 2*x^51 + 2*x^57 - 2*x^70 - 2*x^77 + 2*x^92 + 2*x^100 + ...
