I think south should double 2♥ even if north passes.
Your idea

Strongly disagree Karlson. There are a few bids left of which I think they show extras.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Wow I think it's utterly clear north should balance when 2♥ comes back. Surely there are better examples than this of reasons to bid 1NT.
Well, you're relying a lot on your opponents to have eight hearts. If partner has A8xx xx KJxxx Ax, getting to 3♣ isn't exactly a triumph.
Something doesn't have to be a 100% action to be utterly clear. And even opposite that 3♣ is not the worst thing to ever happen to me. I still do not see the possibility of a raise to 2♥ as any sort of reason to bid 1NT the first time here.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
