When we define an input that does the opposite of whatever

True would mean that its input halts.

But false indicates that the input does not halt, but it does.

1=input does halt
0=input cannot be decided to halt

And, the problem is that a given DD *CAN* be decided about halting, just not by HHH, so "can not be decided" is not a correct answer.

0=yes does not halt or pathological self-reference
1=no  halts

 Nope, because your criteria in not a semantic property of the INPUT (or it is trivial, as 0 is always a correct answer).
 

It is only allowed to answer 0 when when
(a) The input does not halt
(b) The input has a pathological relationship with the decider.
