With a human partner you did fine.

This auction east needs a real stopper to bid 3N not a likely stopper or in Gibs case on these type of auctions an imaginary stopper.

If you are bidding 3N on this hand you will require a 4-4 ♦ split by opponents and to pick up Q♣ . This assumes you have 2♦ which isn't even given. I don't know the odds but can't be great.

East must bid 4♥ or 4/5♣ not 3NT

What was 3D over 3C defined as? Sometimes in 4th suit auctions, a repeat of the 4th suit is played as repeating the stopper ask.

Would love to know.

I rebid H instead of 4C since moron often has even AQx or AKx in d in same bidding.
