It is not unknowable, though, because it is not the first time the conversation happens.

You can have this exact conversation regarding EVERY other companion in act 2. Shadowheart shows she is attracted to Karlach throughout the entirety of the game up to that point. Karlach is the perfect partner for a poly relationship since she's a ticking time bomb and thus won't possibly be harm to a lasting relationship because unless she's fixed there couldn't be one. Yet, she doesn't want it with Karlach. Or any of the other 4, for that matter.

There is absolutely no reason for her to do a 180 with Halsin then, who she has shown no prior interest in, while knowing that she has also, on at least 5 occasions, shown no interest in a poly relationship. And this is all in mind that she also has not actually had sex with the PC, which makes her willingness to share something she hasn't even had yet even less likely. The drow twins - as much as I dislike that interaction too - proves this as well. She is not willing to share you there, not until your first time.

So she has had 5 occasions to accept poly before, one of which was with someone she's shown to be attracted to and is technically the perfect poly partner, and she had 1 occasion of sharing you sexually and denied it. Insert Halsin, who's only character defining trait in act 3 is someone who wants to have a poly relationship with you and your partner, and all of those points are suddenly moot.

And that's ignoring the fact that throughout act 1 and act 2 she was significantly more confident than she is by the time you get to act 3.

So no, again, it's not unknowable. It's very knowable.
