Apr 18, 2022 at 20:54 comment added Iosif Pinelis @RichardStanley : Thank you for your comment. Later, I too gathered that that is what the OP must have meant. Is this a common convention, to say that the sums of two power series are congruent if their respective coefficients are congruent?
Apr 18, 2022 at 19:55 comment added Richard Stanley He means that when both sides are expanded as a power series in $q$, the coefficients of $q^j$ are congruent mod 2 for all $j$.
Apr 18, 2022 at 18:55 comment added Iosif Pinelis What is $q$ here? Mathematica suggests that, for $q=1/2$, the left-hand side of your congruence is $1.519\ldots$ and the right-hand side is $0.281\ldots$.
