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.

 Commonly known as garbage-in, garbage-out.
 

 Functions computed by Turing Machines are required to compute the mapping from their inputs and not allowed to take other executing
Turing machines as inputs.
 This means that every directly executed Turing machine is outside
of the domain of every function computed by any Turing machine.
 int DD()
{
   int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;
}
 This enables HHH(DD) to correctly report that DD correctly
simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach its "return"
instruction final halt state.
 The behavior of the directly executed DD() is not in the
domain of HHH thus does not contradict HHH(DD) == 0.

 We have already understood that HHH is not a partial halt decider
nor a partial termination analyzer nor any other interessting

 *Your lack of comprehension never has been any sort of rebuttal*

 Your lack of comprehension does not rebut the proof of unsolvability
of the halting problem of Turing machines.
 

 void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
 *ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Claude all agree*
DDD correctly simulated by HHH cannot possibly reach
its simulated "return" statement final halt state.

 No one made any attempt at rebuttal by showing how DDD
correctly simulated by HHH does reach its simulated
"return" instruction final halt state in a whole year.
 You say that I am wrong yet cannot show how I am
wrong in a whole year proves that you are wrong.

 I have shown enough for readers who can read.

 No one has ever provided anything besides counter-factual
false assumptions as rebuttal to my work.

That is not true. That you call something "counter-factual" or "false"
or both does not mean that it is. Usually you don't do even that but
merely change the subject, apparently hoping that reders don't notice
that the rebuttal stays unprotested. A sufficient rebuttal is that
at least one of your claims remain unproven.
But the most important point is that you have not identified any
error in any proof of the uncomputability of halting.

Richard usually provides much less than this.
The best that Richard typically has is ad hominen insults.

You should consider identification of errors accurately enough
for correction as better than anything you may regard as an
insult but that is a matter of taste.
