3D is a clear error, just bid 3H.
4S is a clear error, and led to this disaster. Just raise to 5D.
Since 3D did not cause this disaster at all I'd say the 4S bidder gets 100 % of the blame.

Hi,
3D showed 6-4, 3H instead of 3D would have shown 6-5,
which comes closer?
4D showed not necessarily 7-4, it just denied min. spade
tolerance.
In the end someone needed to stop at a lower level, this is
not easy, I doubt that you can reasonably stop below the
4 level, and every contract above and including 4H wont be
a lot of fun.
So you could have bid better, but most blame goes to the gods.
With kind regards
Marlowe

I would advise against 3♣. The misfit warning is out. Ignore it at your own risk.
Better to stay low and bid 2♠. If you can't stand missing out a game, even at MPs, then by all means bid 3♠ (if invitational).
Over 2♠, opener will probably bid 3♦, to which you should probably PASS.

To me 2 ♠ after 2 ♥ had been forcing, so I had used that instead of 3♣.
3♦ was a serious error, 3 ♥ shows this hand.
3 ♠ was a forced error, because you missed to show your long spades earlier.
4 ♠ was horrible. But it was impossible to find something convincing here.

Right, but this is precision.

The spade bidder knows he's playing opposite a singleton or void, and knows his suit cannot play opposite shortness, so 4 spades is very wrong. Not enamored with some of the other bids, but 4 spades stands out as the worst of the bunch.
