That is the main thing you need to discuss - dealing with interference after 1♦.

The 1D opening <snip>
Not wanting to risk a misunderstanding with 4N

Good to see you took my advice! Seriously though, you could surely see in advance that the 1♦ opening is a weak point - that's precisely why it was so fun (and easy) to mess with in the similar system. Out ofn interest, how did you find it overall?

Was a fun enough system to play, I don't think I'd want to be playing it in a strong field though. A few other things not mentioned in the notes I found out the hard way, 1D-(1S)-X only shows responding values without a spade stop, thinking it was negative, I jumped to 3H on xx Axxx Qxx AKQx (partner tabling dummy with xxx Qxx KJxx Txx. Lucky the king of hearts was onside, trumps were 3-3, spades 5-3, diamonds 3-3, and the ace of diamonds being with the shorter spades, so I managed to scramble 9 tricks.

Also, 1M-2N(J2N)-....3N is RKC, not saying it's terrible, but would never have guessed, we landed in 6N off 2 aces.

If anyone really cares, we came top in our direction by just over a board.
