With opponents silent, the auction starts 1♣-1♠-2♣-2♦-2♥.
2♦ is forcing and ostensibly natural, 2♥ instead of 2♦ would have been natural and forcing.
Which continuations by responder are forcing?

To me everything is forcing and i would make my invitation bids without stepping on to 2♦ first, including 2NT.
1♣-1♠
2♣-2NT/3♣/2-3♠ and i wont nitpick the red stoppers when bidding 2NT.
For some of us 2♣ is wide range, wider than those who plays it strictly 11-14. Depends on how picky you are with opener's jump rebid suit quality and/or reverses. If u are picky with those bids than 2♣ can be as good as 16 hcp.
Also, the structure of system and meanings of other bids directly affects the meaning of bids made here. For example we play
1♣-2♠ by unpassed hand as (8)9-11 6 card invitational and can not be bad suit. Thus
1♣-1♠
2♣-3♠ can be played as forcing and solid suit (or he wld start with 2♦ first if non solid and rebid ♠) or can be played as inability to bid 2♠ at the first place (bad suit inv hand etc..)

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
