Robot forced me to bid with 5C (imparting no useful information at all)
and then somehow convinces itself I did not have a takeout double after all
when I bid 5H ?

Same old song, another verse. GIB cuebids too often after partner's doubles, and is far worse at knowing what to do the next round. GIB's bidding would improve quite a bit it if were only allowed to cuebid in this situation with equal length in the unbid suits. Otherwise let it take its best shot at level, and get to the right suit. This might be easier to program than having it correct to Spades on a hand such as this.

This is just morbid curiosity, but what was the point range in the description for double. GIB was trying for slam with the 5♣ bid since the clubs rate to be worth 2 tricks on the bidding. I don't know what 5♠ would have shown over 5♥, but I assume it would be some kind of grand slam try.

How, "on the bidding", would North take 2 tricks in clubs?

Perhaps had you bid 5D over 5C GIB would have converted to 5S. Not that that forgives the actual action taken
