Do you really think they will bid something at the three level that
they couldn't before? They don't have ten spades, no serious player
will believe that. No 1S overcall, no 2S overcall, no takeout.

1.) First of all it is questionable whether you should bid game if
partner has a singleton diamond and exactly 4=5=1=3 and a minimum
hand;
2.) Whether to bid game after partner's 2S! with the main idea of not
giving any relevant information to your opponents about the best lead,
in case hearts are 3-1 (you don't like a heart lead);
3.) Whether to cue-bid diamonds along the way or bid game after
investigating about the location of partner's singleton.
