Sure it is. You are just in psychological denial as proven by

The actual question (somewhat informally stated, but from the source you like to use) says:

In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of determining, from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an input, whether the program will finish running, or continue to run forever.

That is the problem. Because it is too informally stated
it can be misunderstood. No one ever intended for any
termination analyzer to ever report on anything besides
the behavior that its input actually specifies.
What is "informal" about the actual problem.
The informality is that it comes from a non-academic source, so doesn't use the formal terminology, which you just wouldn't understand.
What is to be misunderstood?
Given that you start with a program, which is defined as the fully detailed set of deterministic steps that are to be performed, and that such a program, will do exactly one behavior for any given input given to it, says that there is, BY DEFINITIOH a unique and specific answer that the analysize must give to be correct.
The requirement says that the user needs to, by the rules defined by the analyszer, describe that program, and if the analyzer is going to be able to qualify, must define at least one way (but could be multiple) of creating the proper description of that input program, and that an given input that meets that requirement will exactly represent only a singe equivalence set of programs (an equivalence set of programs is a set of programs that all members always produce the same output results for every possible input). Thus, there must exist a unique mapping from each input to such an equivalence set to a correct answer.
Thus, it is THAT BEHAVIOR, the behavior of the full program that *IS* the behavior that its input actually specifies.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?
Now, this does point out that you claim of what could be the "finite- string input" for you HHH, can't possible be such a correct input,

No not at all. When DDD is directly executed it specifies a
different sequence of configurations than when DDD is emulated
by HHH according to the semantics of the x86 language.
And what step actually correctly emulated created the first difference in sequence?
You have been asked this many times, and just fail to answer, because your claim has just been proven to be a *LIE*, so of course you can't find a proof for it,

But that is just admitting that your HHH isn't answering the HALTING PROBLEM, but the POOP problem, which has a different domain
HHH must answer about the actual behavior of its input.
This behavior <is> correctly measured by DDD emulated
by HHH according to the semantics of the x86 language.
