1♣-2♠ (Rebiddable spades, 17+)
3♠-4♥ (A ♥ splinter for ♣, despite 3♠ showing 3 card support for ♠)
4NT (RKCB for ♣)-5NT (even + void)
Now 6♣ is a cue bid for spades? Why show me club keycards then?

The bot's hand:
♠AKT32
♥-
♦KJ7
♣QJ984

GIB saw the thread and decided to have a laugh.
1NT-2♦
2♥-3♦
4♦-4♥ (still the "5+♥, 4+♦, GF")
From this point onward, I could do nothing to make GIB play in diamonds. Any number of diamonds was a cue bid and 4NT was RKCB for hearts. I thought it's counting on my doubleton heart at least, but it just had KTxxx so 6♦ was a much better contract. Its diamonds were T9xx which is what might've gotten him scared, but still, trust your partner (who happened to have ♦AKQJx, no joke)

in the first post spades are trump because the even number of keycards is the ♠AK, can't be clubs
@second post, having trouble understanding it, you were 1NT opener and the hands were something like this?

that seems wrong and I think it's happened to me

If ♠ are trump, why is 4NT RKCB for clubs?

it's mislabeled because it has 1 ace and the king of spades but not clubs and it's showing an odd number of KC

There's no speculation in my post. The 4NT hover said it's RKCB for clubs.

I'm not saying you're speculating. It's either mislabeled or the robot bid the wrong number of keycards.
