I think, personally, that you are right through 3h.
My question is whether or not 3s by responder here would be a last-
gasp probe for 3nt with diamond help but not a stopper. I thought
that would be clear, since by now there is no 8-card spade fit on the
horizon, but at least one poster thought that responder could be
searching for a 5-2 spade fit.
