It used to be that you could make doubles like mine to get the robot to lead your suit. So, is this a fixable case of "the documentation doesn't match the programming and the robot read it as a take-out double" or is North just making one of his frequent appearances as my third opponent?

You were your own "third opponent" on this hand. You showed a stronger diamond suit with your double of 3D (KQ+ or better). Change your queen of hearts for the ace of diamonds and you are a big favorite to make 4D. The opponents have a good heart fit on this auction, and GIB is looking at a singleton heart. There is plenty of reason to think that not selling out to 3H is correct with the GIB hand. Your hand could have held 3+ clubs, so introducing the 5 card club suit is very reasonable.
