This seems correct. I accomplished the same thing differently in my
current paper.

To the best of my knowledge I am the first to derive the key insight
that the conventional HP counter-examples specify infinite recursion to
any simulating halt decider.

It looks like the original specification provided in
the Linz text may be infinitely recursive in that each
TM requires its own input. ...(Olcott:2016)

It is documented that I came up with the idea of infinitely nested
recursion/simulation in 2016. I have posted this idea very extensively
in this forum long before you even understood the nature of the halting
problem proofs.

It looks like the original specification provided
in the Linz text may be infinitely recursive in
that each TM requires its own input.

It was shortly before you posted this message that you showed that you
understood the difference between refuting the halting problem proofs
and solving the halting problem.

Prior to this there was no indication that you understood the mechanism
of the conventional proofs at all. After this you proved that you
understood this mechanism far better that most everyone else.

Two people can arrive at the same conclusion independently you know. I
pointed out to you that [Strachey 1965] was pathological/erroneous due
to the decider being part of or called by that which is being decided
(P) which gives arise to a necessarily tri-state decision result with
the third result state being that P is invalid.

I said this back in 2004.
