I also wonder when the final halving technically occurs. How is it programmed? Is there a hard stop, or does it stop when the reward is less than two satoshi and no more halving is possible?

yep each halving is just 1 bit less of the reward which the translates binary to decimal to a number you can recognise
the very last halving is where the final 1bit becomes 0



.. i understand your a newbie so i wont rip apart your other errors i found in your article, but enjoy learning about bitcoin. there is much to learn

And after 1 bit becomes 0 is the network programmed to stop 'dividing/cutting' it or will it forever divide 0 by 2 (only to get 0 again) every 210 000 blocks?

Well, I sincerely appreciate your mercy, but I would be grateful if you could rip them apart so I do not make them again...
