The whole notion of undecidability is anchored in ignoring the fact that

A formal theory is undecidable if there is no Turing machine that
determines whether a formula of that theory is a theorem of that
theory or not. Whether an expression is a truth bearer is not
relevant. Either there is a valid proof of that formula or there
is not. No third possibility.

For instance, the Twin Primes conjecture is either True, or it is False, it can't be a non-truth-bearer, as either there is or there isn't a highest pair of primes that differs by two.

The fact we don't know, and maybe can never know, doesn't make the question incorrect.

Right, and a question that we don't know (or maybe can't know) but is either true or false, is not an incorrect question.

Tarski is a simpler example for this case.
His theory rightfully cannot determine whether
the following sentence is true or false:
"This sentence is not true".
Because that sentence is not a truth bearer.

No, that isn't his statement, but of course your problem is you can't understand his actual statement so need to paraphrase it, and that loses some critical properties.

  Haskell Curry species expressions of theory {T} that are
stipulated to be true:
     Thus, given {T}, an elementary theorem is an
    elementary statement which is true.
https://www.liarparadox.org/Haskell_Curry_45.pdf
 When we start with the foundation that True(L,x) is defined
as applying a set of truth preserving operations to a set
of expressions of language stipulated to be true Tarski's
proof fails.
 We overcome Tarski Undefinability the same way that ZFC
overcame Russell's Paradox. We replace the prior foundation
with a new one.

So, DO THAT then, and show what you get.
So, just as Z and F did, and went through ALL the logical proofs to show what you could do with there rules, write up your complete set of rules and then show what can be done with it.
You have been told this for years, but don't seem to understand, perhaps because you don't understand the basics well enough to actually do that.
Note, it isn't just the summary you will find on the informal sites that you need to do, but the FORMAL PROOF that is in their academic papers.
Papers you probably can't understand.
And not, that since you are moving to a more basic level, of changing the fundamental rules of the logic, you can't just assume any of the existing logic principles still work.
This may well be the sort of thing where it takes 20 pages to show that 2 + 3 = 5 at the fundamental level of defining what + means.

That does not mean that True(L,x) cannot be defined.
It only means that some expression ore not truth bearers.

You asserting he is wrong becuase you don't understand his proof makes you wrong, and STUPID.
