1♦ - (X) - XX - (ps)
ps - (2♣) - ps - (ps)
2♥ - (ps) - 2♠ - (ps)
3♦ - (ps) - 3NT - All pass

I learned that XX is forcing to 2NT, but that's just one kind of agreement. That would mean option 3
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I would have said pass and 2♠ were both forcing, but 2♥ is not. But perhaps 2♥ should be too.

I feel everything was forcing until 3♦. It's hard to see what either player could do on the previous round with appropriate shape for their bid but a game forcing hand, where jumping seems pretty misdirected.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Seems like pass was forcing, and most likely promises another bid. 2H and 2S was just finding the strain, and 3D would feel like NF.

I use to play these sequences forcing up to 2NT, so, if one crosses that line, it's a GF.
