Scoring: MP

1♣-(1♠)-?


Strong NT, negative free bids. If it makes any difference, with 3-3 minors we always open 1♣ and 1♦ is 4+ or 4432.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Playing a 15-17 NT I double so that we can end in 1NT. Playing NFB I double as well since my hearts are too bad for 2♥.

Only if playing a weak 1NT and forcing freebids, it's a problem. I think I would bid 2♥ then. Maybe it depends on the agreed meaning of
1♣-(1♠)-X-(pass)
2♦*
If 2♦ shows a full reverse (or something close to it), X is safe. If it does not show extras (and maybe could even be made with 4-4 minors), I'd rather bid 2♥ now to avoid partner's 2♦ bid.

Good point Helene, I'll modify it a little to be more specific.

I'd double, not bidding 2H.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Double, not good enough for a negative free bid of 2H.
