Agree. If the bid had been a different suit these bids might be natural, but not here.

The first feels like a cuebid. The second feels like DNE.

1♠ then 3/4♠ sets spades as trump, therefore cuebid. However if it had been a new suit, 1♠ 1NT 3♦ for instance, you have to make an agreement on what 4♣ is

DNE = Does Not Exist.
Sorry, thought it was a common usage for bids that are deliberately left undefined in a system.
If opener has a hand just a little bit better than an opening 4S preempt, and responder only had enough for 1NT, there should be no such thing as a hand where he wants to take a second call.

Both cue. For me 3♠ demands a cue if I have one, but as we bid 1st or 2nd round controls, a splinter is a cue.
1♠ 1NT 4♠ itself is DNE for me, so as responder I would think maybe he is just short of a 2♣, kicking himself about opening 1♠, and forgetting about the existence of the 3♠. (This sort of thing happens in my partnerships.) So with a pretty good 1NT I cue.
