What doesn't happen is DD reaching its "return" statement
final halt state.

 That has been done hundreths of times.

It is truism that simulating termination analyzers
must report on the behavior of their input as if
they themselves never aborted this simulation:

 One of the things that have been shown to you to be wrong.
Repeating it can be interpreted as lying.
The report must be about the behaviour specified in the input, including the code to abort, not about the behaviour specified in a hypothetical other HHH that does not abort
 

A simulating termination analyzer according to this exact spec
<MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
     If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its
     input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D
     would never stop running unless aborted then
     H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
     specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.

Derives the exact same behavior as the directly executed D()
except in the case where D calls H(D). The traditional way to
handle this case is: *I GIVE UP I HAVE NO IDEA* That is *NOT*
the best of all possible ways to handle that case.
