Halt deciders are not allowed to report on the behavior of the

are only allowed to compute the mapping from input finite strings.
What if the input is the same as the containing computation?
It always is except in the case where the decider is reporting on
the TM description that itself is contained within.

I don't understand. "The input is not the same as the containing

computation"?
I mean: is that an accurate paraphrase?
 
An executing Turing machine is not allowed to report on its own
behavior. Every decider is only allowed to report on the behavior that
its finite string input specifies.
And what happens when those are the same?
That is always the case except in the rare exception that I discovered
where a simulating halt decider is simulating the input that calls
itself.
Always? Most TMs don't get themselves as input. OTOH that is one of
the most interesting cases.
The description of a TM specifies the behaviour of that machine
when it is running.
