This has nothing to do with the halting problem because that is concerned about for all possible programs not some programs.

We obviously know if some programs halt.

    while true: nop
Is an infinite loop.

    X = 1
    Y = X + 2
Halts.

More complex behaviours can be easier. Neither of my programs there make network calls.
