with ♣J
♦A974
♥AQ54
♠J753
for robot
I open 1♣ as north East overcalls 1♦-Robot(south) makes neg X, west passes , I bid 1♥, west passes and Robot bids 1NT which all passed.
Was 1NT some sort of conventional raise. I would think 3♥ or even 4♥ are better bids

1N was a bad bid. it showed

4+ H; 4+ S; 9+ HCP; 12- total points; stop in D

We'll address. it is a clear 4H call.

what is your normal bidding structure after 1♦X? I think most, pretend partner has bid 1♥ and then makes what would be an appropriate call if that in fact had happened with 1♥ reserved for hands that cannot bid 1NT, 2♣, or other appropriate call, basically a min opening with 3♥ and less than 4♠
