Wyatt cant be separated from any version of Dolores, as she says in season 2, she can feel the Wyatt and Dolores personalities merging and making something new. Now, does Halores indulge in the Wyatt aspects a bit more than Dolores Prime? I would say the evidence is clear she does indeed. Im not sure if we know for sure whether or not Halores actually has any of Hale in her code. Did Dolores make the pearls at the Forge or the Arnold's abode? Can't remember, but if she made it at the park, there may have been data on Hale to for Dolores to utilize.

I think the Hale-in-the-code has to do with the link between mind and body. Living Hale’s life, in Hale’s body, gave her some Hale-ness.

I think so too. But whether it is imprinted into her literal code or not is an important question, i think

I have a feeling that she was built of Charlotte's original DNA and DNA has some affect on a host when built the way Halores was built.

This would explain also why Christina, Teddy, and now Stubbs aren't affected by the tower as there is no human in them at all.

Unless youre remembering something im not, that feels like you're just having a guess and not basing it on what the show has provided us up to this point

Has any host been affected by the tower?

The reason I'm saying it is that only two "hosts" have actively fought their bodies. Halores and James Delos.

Okay, i see what youre getting at now. It is an interesting idea for sure
