It's really bad to have the 3 level preference show the 3 cd limit raise after the JS, responder needs to be able to take false preference on hands where unclear what to do. 4M should be the 3 cd lr, 3M should be assumed 2cd M.

Not the only problem on that hand, of course. Give East a third Spade and you are still some way off a confident 6S bid

What you said is correct, I agree.
However I think that the biggest problem is the explanation on rebid-3♠ by responder. Usually rebid-3♠ is a weakish bid with 2-3 cards instead of strongish hand with 11-12 TPs.

I can live with that explanation. You're already in a game force. Responder should go to game (either 3NT or 4♠).
