I followup with 6NT.
Pard should be showing semi-solid to solid diamonds. I am not going to tho bank on pard holding A♣, and AKQ♦. Pard should convert to 7 if he has this hand.
What now? Precision question

Meh, I doubt that getting the "I have solid trumps" message across is worth wasting the entire level of bidding space when partner has shown a balanced hand. It's usually much more important when partner is unbalanced.
I agree that maybe using 4♦ for something else than solid diamonds is better option. I have no opinion. I don't like keycard but only because it would require writing fat section in system notes on what bid is keycard in what sequence. I don't deny it might theoretically superior way to play.

4D shows a solid suit and asks for cues in every version of Precision I have ever played and with every partner with whom I have ever played. Hence 4H is not kickback for us, but a cue bid.
I agree.
This hand was sent to me by my old club partner and back in the day that is certainly how we would have interpretted the sequence.
2♦ = 8+ HCP and 5+♦
2NT = 16-19 in our system (16-18 otherwise)
4♦ = solid suit (7/8+) headed by AKQ
4♥ would show first round control (hoping to hear 5♣)
I just wanted to see how some of our modern theorists would approach it.

4♥ - Kickback.
