Quite a few things with the methods you describe in your post that dont really add up:

1: given partner passed in the opening seat surely a cue bid now would describe this hand. Max pass and 4 trumps no splinter.

2: the structure your partner describes to you says with 7 losers she would bid 3!H. But with 7 losers she has enough for game if you you must use LTC. So that is not compatible with the idea of a pre-empt.

Your hand is worth 15 you have the perfect singleton given the bidding. So you should want to bid game any time partner has 4 trump and close to max pass values. It seems like neither of you really knows what 3!H means with any accuracy.

For example in my partnership 3H is 4-7 HCP 4 trump. If you range is narrow - what ever it happens to be - you wont miss game.

You have many possible actions here you need a meaning for each:

Suggestions

2H - 5-8 3 card support
3H - 5-8 4 card support
2S - 9-10 3 card support
1NT - 8-10 spade holds
2NT - 4 card support 9-10
2C/D - 5+ cards 9-10 (possibly intending to support H next with 3 H)
X 8-11 both minors no fit


3♥ should really be 0-7HCP.
