What kind of bid is 4?
North is a passed hand and is now making a slam try?!

4 is a crazy bid. Also, South has opened 3rd hand, not that GIB understands opening light in 3rd seat.

It should be something with pretty wild distribution like

That's not a 4 bid. 4 shows hearts support.

That's maybe a 4 bid. If 4 is a fit non-jump, then you'll have to pick your poison with pass or 5 or dbl. I suppose I would bid 5.

Obviously North should have opened. There isn't a convention that says "sorry partner, I was sleeping and forgot to open".

Agreed, a cue shows support. One doesn't start searching for a new suit at the five level, especially with a passed hand. Over a preempt with less than 5 losers and partner had not bid might be an exception to this rule, but this is nowhere near that case. I bid 5, the only bid suit and the only possible trump suit.

fwiw i came out ok on this one. i decided to bid 5d as a cue and the north bot passed. this was a clallenge against bots . at the other table the south bot passed the double and the north bot bid 5d.
but 4s is incomprehensible to me.
