(a) Termination Analyzers / Partial Halt Deciders must halt this is

This violates the design requirement of (a) therefore HHH must abort
the simulation of its input.

You missed a couple details:
A terminating input shouldn't be aborted, or at least not classified
as not terminating. Terminating inputs needn't be aborted; they and the
simulator halt on their own.

And when it aborts, the simulation is incorrect. When HHH aborts and
halts, it is not needed to abort its simulation, because it will halt
of its own.

So you are trying to get away with saying that no HHH ever needs to
abort the simulation of its input and HHH will stop running?

Pretty much.

It is the fact that HHH DOES abort its simulation that makes it not
need to.

No stupid it is not a fact that every HHH that can possibly exist aborts
its simulation.

I thought they all halt after a finite number of steps?

 No, but the BEHAVIOR of the program does, and that is what matters.

So you agree that DDD correctly simulated by any pure function
HHH cannot possibly reach its own return instruction?
