I'm not sure, as I'm bidding in a systemic context I don't know well. However, my gut tells me that 4NT as a spade cue slam move seems right.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

"When in doubt, lead trumps." This seems to be one such occasion. After a dbl, that is :P

I am not sure what I am going to bid, but before I bid it, I would like to know what the 4♦ bid was, splinter or fit jump? I am thinking it was fit jump due to the way it was alerted, but it might have meant shows spades, which i s clear anyway.

It was a fit jump - spades and diamonds

Double

Passing the buck a bit, but it's partner who knows whether he is looking at three small diamonds, a singleton diamond or something in between.

5♥

Hard to believe 4♠ is more than one off after partner's failure to double and could easily be making and I expect 5♥ to make or be one off soI'll takeout some insurance.

I doubt that after this bidding 4 Spade will be a bloodbath.
Well actually I am not sure, it can be a bloodbath for us.
I have one trick for the defence opposite a partner who passed 4 Spade.

But I have 11 working points for my partner and just two useless points. My hopes for making 5 HEart are immense.
Kind Regards

Double will be wrong when partner thinks you have some soft spade tricks.

I bid 5♥ but I don't like it that much.
