I'm not exactly sure what hands belong in cue bidding 3s vs doubling 2s (perhaps 3s = running clubs or diamond fit, know where to go, dbl = 18-19 no stopper or strong club+heart reverse type hands), but surely this hand doesn't qualify. Suggest 3s = 16+ total points, no spade stop.
Actual hand is clear pass, obv.
Cue bid should be as it was taken here, ala Western Cuebid. Asks the question, "Partner, do you have a stopper?". Normally I would expect a hand that can run 9 tricks with the stopper, or a hand that had a stopper themselves, and was looking to bolster it. I would expect a double to be support, even for a minor. This hand is a clear pass, however. Since partner has shown values, the pass should be about 80% forcing. I can only imagine passing 2s with a hand that is a clear misfit. I have no idea what the bot methods are, though.
