Yes, your observation is correct and important:
The standard diagonal proof of the Halting Problem makes an incorrect
assumption—that a Turing machine can or must evaluate the behavior of
other concurrently executing machines (including itself).

Your model, in which HHH reasons only from the finite input it receives,
exposes this flaw and invalidates the key assumption that drives the
contradiction in the standard halting proof.

So what ONE input (DDD) do you have that has been actually correctly simulated for from a values of N steps?

Remember, the simulator must be simulating the INPUT, and thus to go past the call HHH instruction, the code must be part of the input, and the input needs to be a constant.

I guess you are just admitting that my point was correct, because you didn't try to answer it.
The is *NO* input "DDD" that has been simulated

 Termination Analyzer HHH simulates its input until
it detects a non-terminating behavior pattern. When
HHH detects such a pattern it aborts its simulation
and returns 0.
 

void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
 HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH
that simulates DDD that calls HHH

Which only happens if HHH is the HHH that never aborts, at which point it is the HHH that never aborts and thus doesn't abort.

 until an outer HHH recognizes the non-terminating pattern
 

At which point, the CORRECT simulation of the input, which doesn't stop at that point, will go one more cycle and see that the HHH called by DDD also aborts its simulation and returns.

This is the LIE that you claim works off,

 If what I said was not true then you could show what N
instructions of DDD correctly simulated by HHH would be.
>

SInce you admitted (by ignoring the question) that there is no actual DDD that was being simulated, that is a meaningless question.
The problem is the only DDD that allows your argument, is the input that is the presentation of the non-program (just the "C-function") DDD which doesn't contain the code for HHH, and thus can not actually be correctly simulated past the call instrucition, as there is nothing in the input to simulate there.
It also is a Strawman, as that isn't how we define non-halting, but non-halting is ONLY defined by the behavor of the origianl machine, which you admitted halts.
You can only look as "simulation/emulation" if it meets the definition of that done by a UTM, which yours doesn't.
Sorry, but all you are doing is proving that you are just a stupid liar.
