MP best hand south instant, gib v 30

Quite interested to note that trial bids are "systems on" after double. So 2S shows a yet to be disclosed short. It doesn't say so in the explanation but I imagine that 2N asks where is the short, and without my further double I would expect West to show it. Why doesn't he do so when 2N gets doubled? Programming oversight or deliberate?

Gib has 2 short suit which was it planning on showing?

should do a try needing help in ♦ and it needs a lot of help or some aces. especially troubling is lack of A♥ so if dummy can ruff ♦ opp can lead 2 rds of trump
