 In other words it is too difficult for you to understand that
the above specifies this execution trace:
 *Repeat until aborted*
{
   DDD emulated by HHH
   [00002163] 55         push ebp      ; housekeeping
   [00002164] 8bec       mov ebp,esp   ; housekeeping
   [00002166] 6863210000 push 00002163 ; push DDD
   [0000216b] e853f4ffff call 000015c3 ; call HHH(DDD)
}
 

Which is self-evidently not true, Because  after each step the stack increases, therefore, we never get the same state.
Further we know that HHH aborts after N cycles, so we can also say:
*Repeat N times*
{
   DDD emulated by HHH
   [00002163] 55         push ebp      ; housekeeping
   [00002164] 8bec       mov ebp,esp   ; housekeeping
   [00002166] 6863210000 push 00002163 ; push DDD
   [0000216b] e853f4ffff call 000015c3 ; call HHH(DDD)
}
Further, DDD is a misleading and unneeded complication. It is easy to eliminate DDD:
        int main() {
          return HHH(main);
        }
This has the same problem. This proves that the problem is not in DDD, but in HHH, which halts when it aborts the simulation, but it decides that the simulation of itself does not halt.
HHH is simply unable to decide about finite recursions.
void Finite_Recursion (int N) {
   if (N > 0) Finite_Recursion (N - 1);
}
It decides after N recursions that there is an infinite recursion, which is incorrect.
Your HHH is programmed to abort the simulation after N cycles of recursive simulations. Therefore, it is incorrect to abort the simulation of HHH when the simulated HHH has performed only N-1 cycles, because that changes the behaviour of HHH.
Since the simulated HHH always runs one cycle behind the simulating HHH, it is clear that HHH can never simulate enough cycles for a correct simulation, as is required by the x86 language.
Therefore, the simulation is incorrect according to the criteria you stipulated.
The conclusion is simple:
HHH cannot possibly simulate itself correctly.
No matter how much you want it to be correct, or how many times you repeat that it is correct, it does not change the fact that such a simulation is incorrect, because it is unable to reach the end.
Your own claim that the simulated HHH does not reach its end confirms it. The trace you have shown also proves that HHH cannot reach the end of its own simulation. So, your own claims prove that it is true that HHH cannot possibly simulate itself up to the end, which makes the simulation incorrect.
Sipser would agree that this incorrect simulation cannot be used to detect a non-halting behaviour.
