I am confused about Late Bidding Double. What am I missing?

Hello! This bidding sequence has happened several times in the past with the robots.

https://tinyurl.brid...se.com/2u7am9b4

The description states "4+ Hearts (it had better be 5+ since it did not use a negative double), 7+ HCP, 8+ total points, forcing to 3NT"

Today, I went to 3 NT, only to discover that it went down big time since robot did not have a stopper in diamonds. In the past, I've left in the double as penalty since I'm trying to figure out what robot's bid means means. Again, down big time.

Does it mean support for my bid? If so, why not bid it since it forces me to bid the suit (clubs in today's deal) at the 4 level anyway. Does robot want me to bid something else?

What am I missing? Thanks.

Mike
