A simulating halt decider cannot report on what the behavior of a
non-terminating input actually is because this would take forever.

Exactly. Didn't you say it is allowed to abort?

H is not allowed to report on any computation containing its actual
self because Turing machines can only take finite string inputs thus
cannot take Turing machines as inputs.

Bullshit. It can take other machines just fine. It doesn't know about
itself.

No actual Turing machine can be the input to any other actual Turing
machine. Turing machines only take finite string inputs.

This means that H is not allowed to report on the behavior of the
directly executed P(P).

So on which program does it report then?
