Thank you. That makes this a pretty big deal doesn't it?

The ability to deterministcly identify that code eventually reaches a halting state, implies that we can use these stochastic tools to generate deterministic outcomes reliably in the future doesn't it?

Well, reliably but still with a chance of failure - in the same way that you can have a program which is provably correct but can still run into real world issues like being killed, but yes I would say that "almost surely" is a pretty large jump from "more than likely" (50%+1) where I'd say LLM output generally lives these days.
