Responder's 1 ♥ wake-up bid in the 1st round of bidding. The Opener has passed.
2) If the Responder only has 4 cards in his major :

With 4 cards in the other major and at least 10HCP the Responder bids his 2nd major..This unusual bidding sequence doesn't show a 2-suiter with 5-5 but shows 4-4 in the majors (not 5-4)
With a stopper in Opp's suit depending on his strength, Responder bids 2 or 3NT.
Without a stopper in Opp's suit and with the points to play 3NT Responder cue-bids Opp's suit : it's an invitation to play NT if Opener has ♣ stoppers.

Problem E58213 SA You have to be the Declarer because of the need to protect your ♣ stopper.

Responder's Forcing Reopening Bids
In general, the responder's reopening bids are purely competitive and not forcing. The responder can make the sequence forcing:

With a jump to show a two-suited hand.
By cue-bidding the opponent's suit.
By supporting at the 3-level.

S	O	N	E

South shows a jump to a two-suited hand, making the sequence forcing.
$encheres('N','1C,-,1D,1S,-,-,3D') Jumping in their suit alone is not enough to make the sequence forcing.

S	W	N	E

Problem E26094
With this strong hand, South bids their second suit with a jump, making the sequence forcing.

S	W	N	E

Problem E26095
The delayed support at the 3-level makes the sequence game-forcing.
