No rule bars your choice. Judgment, maybe.

May depend where you are so you should state which jurisdiction, but in most places a canape 4-5 rule of 19 is fine.

It's perfectly legal under all of the regulatory structures that I am aware of.
[Many would require advanced disclosure if this opening was by agreement]

yes it's totally legal. you can normally bid anything you like. beginners often think other players must bid the same way they've been taught or it's cheating. it's not true.

It's certainly legal to open 1♥ with this hand almost everywhere, but that doesn't mean that the 1♥ opening NS were playing had a non-HUM meaning like "8-15, 4+ H, possible canapé". Maybe it showed "0-10, any shape", which is HUM.

A bid can never be illegal (well, almost never: opening 7NT without first looking at your cards would be illegal).
Having the agreement with partner to open 1♥ with that a hand like this could in theory be illegal in some jurisdictions, but I would be surprised if it is.
Having the agreement to open 1♥ with this hand and not taking any measures to inform the opponents about such an agreement (for example by alerting or by putting it on the front of the convention card) may well be against your local regulations. In any case, if opponents ask you if your partner's 1♥ opening promises that no other suit is longer than hearts, you must tell them the truth. You can't look at your partner's cards but you must be honest about what your agreements are.
If partner opens 1♥ on this hand which is against your agreements, he may fool both you and the opponents. That's ok. If he does it very often, though, you will eventually start expecting him to do it, and at that point it becomes an "implicit agreement" which you must inform the opponents about.

Why?
I would love it, if opps ever did that.
I might even double without looking at my cards

Yes, but opening 1♠ without first looking at your cards is also illegal...

reply to all:
I definitely have no agreement on this bidding since my partner is ROBOT.
the bidding was judged illegal by the director of an online bridge game site which has its own 'bridge rules'.
