Right, if the correct (and thus complete) emulation of this precise
input would not halt.

That is what I have been saying for years.

If.
 

H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D specifies
a non-halting sequence of configurations.

Which your H doesn't do.

It is a matter of objective fact H does abort its emulation and it does
reject its input D as non-halting.

And then it returns to the D that called it, which then halts anyway.

Maybe you are not as smart as ChatGPT.
ChatGPT cannot be convinced that HHH was not correct
to reject DDD as non-halting and explains in its own
words why the fact that DDD halts does not change this.

Simplified Analogy:
Think of HHH as a "watchdog" that steps in during real execution
to stop DDD() from running forever. But when HHH simulates DDD(),
it's analyzing an "idealized" version of DDD() where nothing stops the
recursion. In the simulation, DDD() is seen as endlessly recursive, so
HHH concludes that it would not halt without external intervention.

This link is live so you can try to convince ChatGPT that its wrong.
DDD emulated by HHH has different behavior than DDD emulated
by HHH1 and it is becoming psychotic to keep ignoring this.
