1D on your right, your bid.

If you double it goes pass on your left, 1S by pd, pass on your right.....

certainly double, I'd bid 2♣ over 1♠ to show a flexible strong hand with 5+ clubs. Pass is too pessimistic

Yup, looks about right.

Hi,

X is fine, now 2C.

The scoring form does not matter.

With kind regards

I'll double and pass 1♠.

If partner had something he would have bid accordingly.

If partner has 5 spades to the ace, I like our chances of making game, and that's hardly a jump to 2 spades.

Well if you are one of those who auto raises to 2 with any holding that includes 4+ ♠ you are pretty constrained to bidding 2♦. If instead you require xtra values for a 2♠ call then 2♠ is a possibility as opposite a 5 card suit with a modicum values you will have game chances. This is no guarantee that your partner is not playing a 33 fit or a 43 fit but you are not down yet and with a 43 fit the short hand takes the ♦ hits.
