Arguably, if you can’t tell if the code will halt, the code is not acceptable. Code is acceptable if it can be properly reasoned about. If it can’t, it is not.

Yeah, this seems like a misunderstanding of the halting problem. You can prove that a program halts will halt; you just can't prove that it won't halt if it doesn't.
