You continue to stupidly insist that int sum(int x, int y) {return x

returns 7 for sum(3,2) because you incorrectly understand how these

What else is it missing that the processor uses to execute it?

No, DD halts (when executed directly). HHH is not a halt decider, not even
for DD only.

People here stupidly assume that the outputs are not required to

But the direct execution of DD is computable from its description.

 But neither the "direct execution" or the "simulation by HHH" are "inputs" to HHH. What is the input is the representation of the program to be decided on.
 

When HHH computes halting for DD is is only allowed
to apply the finite string transformations specified
by the x86 language to the machine code of DD.

 It is only ABLE to apply them.
 

The input to HHH(DD) does specify the recursive emulation
of DD including HHH emulating itself emulating DD when
one applies the finite string transformation rules of the
x86 language to THE INPUT to HHH(DD).
You can't pop any other execution trace from the input
to HHH(DD) than that.
