The actual computation itself does involve HHH emulating itself

dishonest.

Which is what you are doing: you pretend that DDD calls some other
HHH that doesn’t abort.

DDD emulated by HHH does not reach its "return" instruction final
halt state whether HHH aborts its emulation or not.

When DDD calls a simulator that aborts, that simulator returns to
DDD, which then halts.

It is not the same DDD as the DDD under test.

HHH is required to abort the emulation of any input that
would otherwise result in its own non-termination. DDD
is such an input.

No, HHH does what it does, and, to be a halt decider must determine if the program described halts or not.

Just like int sum(int x, int y) { return x + y; }

 But it only "Must be aborted" if the unbounded emulaiton of that exact input doesn't halt.

*You are just reverting to weasel words*
When no HHH anywhere in the recursive emulation chain ever
needs to abort its input to prevent the non terminating
behavior of the outermost HHH then the input to HHH halts,
otherwise the input to HHH is correctly rejected as non-halting.
