Then DDD correctly simulated by any pure function HHH cannot possibly

correct to reject its DDD as non-halting.

That does not follow. It is never correct to reject a halting
comoputation as non-halting.

In each of the above instances DDD never reaches its return instruction
and halts. This proves that HHH is correct to report that its DDD never
halts.

It can't return if the simulation of it is aborted.

Within the hypothetical scenario where DDD is correctly emulated by its

stops running.

In actuality HHH DOES abort simulating.

This conclusively proves that HHH is required to abort the simulation of
its corresponding DDD as required by the design spec that every partial
halt decider must halt and is otherwise not any kind of decider at all.

Like Fred recognised a while ago, you are arguing as if HHH didn't abort.

That HHH is required to abort its simulation of DDD conclusively proves

You've got it the wrong way around.

(a) HHH(DDD) is encoded to abort its simulation.
(b) HHH(DDD) is encoded to never abort its simulation.

Therefore (a) is correct and (b) is incorrect according to the
design requirements for HHH that it must halt.

 Both are incorrect. An HHH, when encoded to abort does not need to be aborted when simulated, because it already halts on its own.

When no HHH(DDD) ever aborts its input then HHH never halts
conclusively proving that some HHH must abort its input.
