Could you explain the reason to call the second chord Em7(b5) / E "half diminished" instead of its enharmonic equivalent Gm6? Is it because of its relationship with the harmony it revolves around and resolves to?

[@EthanHein]

In jazz terms, Gm7 and Em7b5 are interchangeable, different voicings of the same chord. I opted for Em7b5 because the melody note is E and that just seemed more logical.
