3NT.
Partner did not bid 3♣ before my 2♠. I forced him to bid 3♣.
Plus, I like my 76. I'm missing the AQJ1098. If partner has one of them, and RHO one of them, then LHO has four of them, and I might be in trouble. But, partner or my RHO might have two of them, and that might work out. I feel lucky.

Did you notice LHO overcalled your 1♥ with 1♠?

What does it mean when partner opens 1♦ then bids and rebids clubs? Could partner be 1345? Why wouldn'the have ever raised hearts? Could he have a 4cM plus 5 clubs? Why didn't he raise hearts or spades (or bid some number of NT over 2S if he didn't think it was natural)? What would a double of 1♠ shown?
I think we need more information to figure out what we would do here.

X = 1345/1354/0355
2C = 1255/2155/3154/3145
3C should be 5 clubs, may have only 4 diamonds.

Seems to me that slam could be good. I'm guessing partner doesn't have wastage in spades -- with Qx, Ax, Qxx, Axx partner might have tried 3♠ over 2♠. Then again, we could be off two aces: x Qx KQxxx AJxxx seems to fit the bidding.
I think I'll stall with 3♥. But, that's probably just delaying the decision.

We ended up playing in 5♣, down one. 6NT is cold if played by west.
On reflection, playing in clubs is a poor choice given south did not raise spades, making partner odds on to have 2-3 spades.

My feeling of good clean living and the fruits thereof (luck) was warranted!
