2♥. I have just enough playing strength. I will pull future penalty doubles.
If you pass and bid 3♥ after (2♥) - pass - (2♠) I suppose thats OK too, but if LHO has 3-3 or better in the majors you might have to bid 4.

Better than ok, it's best-bidder approved!

I like passing and then coming in. This hand has no defensive strength at all, and bidding directly conveys the wrong message. The good news is LHO probably can't raise big immediately unless he also has long hearts (unlikely).

4♥.
Of course this requires you to have the agreemnet that 4♥ doesn't show many HCP.

Pass and 3♥ seems pretty normal, if you still have space left

Scoring: IMP
This was wild -
The bidding at our table went
(2D*)-P-(P)-2S
(P)-4H-(P)-4NT
(P)-P-(P)
We've now agreed that 4♥ is natural
This went one off after east led the K♠ and partner mis-guessed the end position

That's an unnecessarily kind way of putting it.
This is quite interesting as a play-or-defend problem. Should 4NT always make on a spade lead?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

It is!
I think it should make.
With 5 tricks remaining, west has ♦AKx ♣Kx.
East must keep 3 diamonds to avoid an endplay against west, ♣JT to guard the clubs, and a spade. Impossible!

Why can't east pitch to Jx of diamonds?

Diamond towards the queen endplays west to lead from the ♣K.
