I obtained the information in the same place you refer.
In chapter 5 of the following paper you can see how the term (1/2)v^2
(first introduced by 1905 Einstein) is used, where v is the variable
satellite speed:

As you know well, I had being curious for many years (and continue
being) to all related with 1905 Einstein scientific work, always
assuming profound non-evident hidden reasons in his thought. But that
doesn’t mean that I accepted as correct all what he writes. In the
case we are addressing (the polygonal line converted later in a
continuous curved one), I had being unable to find a satisfactory to
me explanation about its correctness, being that the cause of my
recent comment about it.

The intuition in science creation is a very difficult topic to talk
about. Whatever the case about the correctness of the 1905 Einstein’s
derivation we are addressing and my inability to understand it (until
now), I include it already in my interpretation of the 1905 text. As
the experimental evidence supports it, I have no other alternative.

When mentioning 1905 Einstein in a time relativity correction, it is
clear that I am referring only to the part owed to speed. The effect
of gravitation on clocks is first discovered by 1916 Einstein, having
then no sense at all to talk about a gravitational potential
correction in 1905. That 1905 Einstein doesn’t include it is the
unique valid alternative.
In a similar way, when I say that the 1905 Einstein’s prediction
(about the clock at the equator running slower that the one at the
pole) is confirmed experimentally, I am referring only to the speed
effect, not taking into account the gravitational potential one.
By the way, I derived already (since many years ago) the gravitational
potential effect using only 1905 Relativity (that is, respecting the
1905 knowledge context). You can find it (in all detail) in my past
talking with PD in this same thread.
The new for you is that I also derive the shift of Mercury’s
perihelion using only 1905 Relativity, using some result that is
hidden in the title of this thread (it is also already explicit in my
talking with Sue in this same thread). Anyway, I will put it now:

Rest mass and inertial mass is one and the same thing.

Not what you said. And the speed effect is opposite to, and less than the
effect due to difference in gravitational potential.

SR in the 1905 paper provided a starting point or the more inclusive GR that
DOES explain the GPS corrections more fully and correctly.

There are better examples of experiments and equipment that exhibit
predominantly 1905-SR effects

From what you write here below, apparently you don't have a logical
explanation yourself; and still you claim that it was faulty. Then
what exactly was faulty do you think, and why? I had to think a few
minutes about it before concluding that it is indeed obviously
correct!

OK, you simply overlooked that the non-circular orbit of today's GPS

That is well known; Einstein started almost immediately with the
development of the influence of gravitational potential, as already
discussed in his 1907 paper.

That depends on definition. For example, the inertial mass of a high
energy electron is in common language very different from its mass at
rest.
