Clearly the reverse is not GF. Explanation does not confirm. Minimum requirements 12 total points certainly Not enough to GF. Perhaps it would be better as GF, but that is another debate.

Probably the robot has the problem that 3♦ would be forcing. It doesn't seem likely that 3♣ scores better than 3NT in the simulations, but with a limited number of sims everything can happen.

If the purpose of the 2♥ bid is to show a stopper in ♥, why doesn't NorthGIB bid NT instead to show stoppers in both majors?

Perhaps 2N denies a stopper in either major? Doesn’t seem likely
