[Edit]
Your schematic doesn't show a Neg cable on the Alt. It should have one.

Explain why you think that wire belongs on the house battery?
Although it **could** be put on the house, I'm thinking that you are not aware of what/when the harness feeds where.
Read my Harness 101 here:

You need to fuse that #5 harness wire (FIRE HAZARD). When I make up those I use a weather tight ATC fuse holder (below) and a 5/16” LUG, not a crimp terminal. A terminal isn't heavy enough when there's flex and movement of the harness.
Additionally the yel/red “S” wire needs attention re: the fuse and how it's on there. Strain by the harness could easily pull that S wire off the solenoid.

I'm not reviewing your ACR wiring because, well, I don't have one and I'm not fully aware of such wiring. HOWEVER, why is the ACR shown connected to the starter solenoid, “S” terminal?
