Playing MP, I opened 1♣ at the third seat, the robot responded 1♠ and I duly passed with 3 ♠s, as I didn't want to risk a 1NT going down with a minimum hand. The robot presented me 6 ♦ and 4 ♠. As a result, we missed a good ♦ contract.

Why didn't the robot bid its longest suit?

Do the bots play Walsh?

If GIB bids again then it's 3m and terms it a 'bar' bid - shape with limited strength.

GIB thinks it plays Walsh when skipping diamonds, but most assuredly does not from that point onwards. To the extreme where if it holds ♥5432 ♦AJT987654 it will respond 1♥ to a 1♣ opening, and then pass a 1♠ rebid. And after 1♣ - 1♦ it will rebid a 4 card major with a balanced hand. It's just a horrible gap in the system unfortunately.
I have nothing worth contributing, bye

So not a bar bid? In what circumstances does that occur as I've seen it come up a few times?

Yeah, that works over a 1nt rebid, so would have worked in the OPs case had they not passed. But seems a bit of a mess as a passed hand.

Have always wondered about the bar bid

Gib often plays as if intoxicated
