Halts(x,y) would report on the direct execution of x(y) thus ignores
the pathological behavior of x correctly simulated by pure function H.
This makes Halts(x,y) an incorrect measure of the correctness of H(x,y).

 Your HH/DD above are nonsense functions - you have admitted that HH uses static variables deliberately to detect whether it is the outer (unsimulated) HH or an inner (simulated) HH.  In the event of the latter it branches into a completely different code branch from the outer HH, so the "simulated" behaviour of HH is /nothing like/ the behaviour of outer HH.
 Any traces from such a HH/DD are completely worthless.
 You know this, and yet you still claim to have a "fully operational" code etc..  So that is a LIE, just like when you claimed to have a fully operation TM implementing your ideas a few years back.
  Mike.

The fact that it uses static variables has no effect what-so-ever
on the fact that DD correctly simulated by HH cannot possibly
reach its own simulated final state at line 06.
It is very easy to verify that DD correctly simulated by HH cannot
possibly reach its own simulated final state and halt on the basis
of the execution trace that I provided and this x86 source-code for DD.

You are correct that HH is not a pure function yet this has no effect
on the provided execution trace.
It has already been acknowledged when DD is correctly simulated by
pure simulator HH that DD never reaches its own simulated final state
and halts after an infinite number of steps of correct simulation.
When an infinite number of steps is not enough then less than an
infinite number of steps cannot help.
