The 3 spades here showed 3-5 spades and 17 HCP. It should show 4+ spades but should deny 17 HCP from the initial failure to super-accept. Should just be competitive and North shouldn't go.

I don't see why it wouldn't be reasonable to bid 3♠ with 3 spades and 17HCP. The lack of a superaccept should simply show that opener doesn't have both 4 spades and 17HCP. However, I think Barmar has told us in the past that robots know how to superaccept and understand it when partner does it, but they don't take the lack of superaccept into account anytime later in the auction.
