1S in following denies a 4+ card S. What is 1NT and 3NT by opener in following bids:
1C-(1H)-1S!-(DBL)
1NT
and
1C-(1H)-1S!-(DBL)
Pass-(2H)-3H-(Pass)
3NT
I wonder if you bid 1NT with minimum and a stop and 2nd sequence shows half a stop?
..I had something like AQx-Qx-Kxx-Jxxxx and choose 2nd sequence. (partner had ♥xx and opps did lead ♠, but 3NT was still hopeless)

1S by partner should also deny a heart stopper,
else he can bid 1NT, 2NT or 3NT.
Partner should prefer a showing bid to an asking
bid.
Passing 1Sx should show a 4 card spade suit, partner
can still hold a 3 carder.
3NT in the 2nd squence shows a stopper, partner did
ask you, if you have one.
You may need to bid 3NT with a prayer, but 3NT shows
a stopper.
With your given hand, I would bid 2C ugly, but partners
spade "shortness" and since he does not have a heart
stopper makes it likely he has some clubs.
With kind regards
