OK, the contract did make, but that's not the point. Once I bid 6N, that should be final. North however decides to bank on my hand having AKQ of hearts and bids 7H, meaning I had to find the miracle QJ doubleton in trumps to make.

What were you trying to accomplish with your bidding? Whatever it was, you convinced GIB that the ♠QJ,♣K, and first round control in diamonds were golden cards that justified going to 7♥. I disagree that 6NT is 100% sign off in this type of sequence.

6N vs 7X is a completely different ball game to 3N vs 4M. I was trying to find out what gibs hand was from those cuebids as 4NT wouldn't tell me what I needed to know (not being able to count the tricks even if partner shows 1 KC, queen of trumps and a side king). Once it bids 6H, I decided it had a very poor hand for hearts and pulled it to 6N which likely had the same 12 tricks, but with some extra chances- like here I pick up all the 4-1 breaks I can in 6H, and I still have some chances if I get one of the less favourable layouts.

What would 3N have meant by North, instead of 4H?

I don't think I've ever seen gib bid 3NT in that auction, but I assume it shows a stop in spades and diamonds.

Is 2♥ really 12-22 total points, not more limited?
