Is this a forcing pass?

Most partnerships have agreements on when a pass is forcing. I watched this hand played on BBO and you can be the judge.

Dealer South. All Vul.

Most players would think South’s pass of 5D is 100% forcing, but not this North!

Better talk about partnership agreement in forcing pass situations.
