I guess I am the only one who thought responder was dead minimum for his 2s bid. I thought 2s and then 3nt shows more than this as compared to a direct 3nt bid over 2c rebid and plain vanilla opening bid of 1D.

No, 2S then 3N just says that partner could not commit on strain immediately over 2C. The most likely reason is that he is interested in playing 4H and wants to see if partner has a fit.
Basically partner got new information after he bid 2S and then chose to bid 3N so it can not be treated like he has a stronger hand than a direct 3N, the new information just made him feel more confident bidding 3N this time.

Yes I know but I still thought 2s was a minimum(if that is the right word) for this bidding which is why I bid 5nt not 4c. Responder has a 5332 hand with 12 scattered hcp and solid spade stoppers.
Good and interesting posts ty all.
