Does the converting 1H-x promise DA or SA or SQ with a H-stack? Wouldn't H-KJxxx with no side bid 1N?
I try 3NT.

I like both 2♥ and 2♠ however stiff ♥A sounds like the hands ain't fitting good enough so I am downgrading to 3♣. Pass is asking for trouble.

I think that 2S is clearly clearer than 2H.

So do I. I think 2H is definitely passable although obv it shows a good hand while 2S is definitely a cue bid.

I don't play pass as forcing here.

A few years ago a similar auction came up in the bidding forum of the Dutch "Bridge" magazine and everyone agreed that pass is forcing. Possibly responder was not a passed hand, but I don't think that should matter.
