4♣ says " 1-♣,♣KQ ".
6♦ also says " 1-♣,♣KQ ".
However it has 3-card ♣ - AK6.
If it is 1-♣,its explanations should be splinter.
I don't understand what Gib said.

It appears to me that the hand was bid correctly but explained very badly.
On a completely unrelated subject: this was IMPs; I wonder whether East would make a different decision as to final contract in matchpoints.
- 3♥ a cuebid showing first-round control in hearts.
- 4♣ is a cuebid denying first-round control in spades and showing first-round control in clubs.
- 4♠ is a cuebid showing first-round control in spades.

I don't agree that 3H was a cue bid showing control in hearts. I think that it just shows 4 card D suit and doubleton Spade.

In general,as we know that the meanings of 3♥ usually is ♦ fit showing cuebid with doubleton in ♠.

4♣ is not meant to be splinter.
It's one of the rare places where GIB starts cuebidding with K, but not bare King if that's the case.
But it could be also singleton. So that is either 1- card or KQ+ suit. So it's a cue in general.
Shows a suit where declarer won't lose two cards on lead.
