People seem to be making rather heavy weather of this. I don't see any need for anyone to do anything weird like rebidding a 5-card suit, treating a singleton as a stopper, or guessing whether spades are controlled.

1-2
2-2
3-4 (all natural so far)
4-4 (cue, cue)
4-4NT (cue, Keycard)
5-6


So 2H on a 3 carder is natural when you happen to have 4S? Kirk to Spock!

Bidding naturally does not mean you have to prefer xxxx over AKT with a strong hand.
In fact I am sure most traditional natural bidders would be turning in their graves.

I agree with gnasher.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

For what it is worth, I define the 2C! as 4+ cards .... establishing an early GF.
So, a rebid of 2S ( 4 cards ) by Responder would not necessarily show a longer suit .

EDIT ( addition ): The problem with my methods seems to be exemplified here.
When suit agreement is at the 4-level-- 4C here -- ( it is not Minorwood ) , then kickback-RKC ( 4D here ) is in effect but would have to immediately be bid by partner ( Responder here ) but he may not be ready ( having a open side-suit for example as here -- Spades ) .
