2♦ is new minor forcing.
2♥ shows 3 hearts and a minimum (11-12 hcp)
Does the above look ok?
How to proceed from here?
More generally, what should responder's bidding structure look like from here?

Most the time, responder will now be placing the contract.

The exceptions are 3D -- if you need it to show a 4-6 type of hand of a different strength than 1c-1h-1n-3d does -- and the suit bids between 3H and 4H which can be slam tries in hearts.

The details depend whether you put all your invitations through 2D, or all your game forces.

It sure looks like a forcing 2S is next.... but it's possible you could just "blast" .

Surely, slam is on the horizon.... and partner must have the minors covered for his opening count.
I bet 6NT is the safest .
