I understand that robot race GIBs are probably worse than robot reward GIBs, but this was pretty inexplicable.

Technically it's the only way to beat the contract if west has the ♥J and not you, but still weird since west would continue with the jack if he had it.

Does Gib promise KQJ if leading the K in NT?

But obviously would continue with the J if it had it.

If opening leader has KQJx and worried that declarer has Txxx (and partner Axx) might it not lead KQx? A human would get it right, I know,

This is not supposed to be the case: tournament (advanced) robots are supposed to all be the same; only non-tournament (basic) robots are supposed to be worse.
