I've been doing something like this over 1NT-(3H) for 20+ years...
- DBL is 4 or 5 spades GF. Opener bids 3S with 3, 3NT with 2, and at the 4-level with 4+.
- 3S is sort of like a negative DBL without spades (and likely without a stopper)
- 3NT suggests a stopper
- 4m is natural and forcing
- 4H is Texas (either to play in 4S or strong slam interest)
- 4S is natural with mild slam interest
(Not recommended except for strong players in a serious partnership)

4♣ is undefined?
No, 4C is 5=5 majors
