Ugh, a cue bid that somehow shows almost nothing useful, 1+ of 2 suits, and then west passes it. It doesn't seem like it has anything good to bid, but leaving it on spades just seems like asking for a disaster.

How can it possibly pass a cuebid?

Yay, well done for robot North for not doubling.

And it is strong enough to cue bid- its real bid is 3♦ originally- its vulnerable against not so its strongish anyway and West can easily put in 3NT which is reasonable.

IMO dbl >>> 3♦. 3♦ is way too committal.
2nd round should be dbl again, extra strength, 3-H, probably poorly defined currently, west can pass this comfortably for a decent score. 4♠ should probably agree hearts, who knows where it's pulling the "1+, 1+" meanings from.
Getting to 3nt is a little double-dummy IMO.
