does not proc on unlike despite similar wording: "When[ever] you play a Heal card..." Inkfingers and I tested. Our conclusion in short: if you play any "normal" Heal card, then Healing Spirit pops up on the screen and extra healing occurs as expected, but if you play a draining Heal card, then Healing Spirit unexpectedly never pops up and extra healing unexpectedly does not occur.

[SRC] Quinn the Stout shoots Darkroot the Sorcererous with a mighty spark Cushioning Armor reduced damage to Darkroot the Sorcererous by 2. Darkroot the Sorcererous took 5 Electrical damage. Bug: Same problem using Invigorating Touch (7 HP) (with Brightbush Gladhand at nearly full HP, moot because we could plainly see Healing Spirit wasn't even triggering). Brightbush Gladhand touches [SRC] Quinn the Stout and heals up! [SRC] Quinn the Stout took 7 Unholy damage. Brightbush Gladhand recovered 4 HP. Outside this particular test, we also attacked allies some. Same result. Healing Spirit just never even showed up on the screen with drains but did when playing normal Heals. We did not specifically test whether it triggered when playing healing terrain of any type, but there's already an inconsistency (last I checked) on Talented Healer triggering for playing Healing Beacon terrain but no Blessed terrain cards. By the cards' texts, TH and HS each should trigger when initially playing the terrain cards which Heal. Ah, I just realized we didn't test Cleansing effects, either. Sorry. Chiefly, we were concerned with drain attacks. (Plus, we each had tech issues just trying to get the log properly.) I've attached the console log plus login headers.
My main concern with this is knowing if this is A) working as intended, and B) an issue that is too technically complicated to be worth solving. I hope it is neither, but I would like to know.
I believe everything is working as intended. For AI, I have changed Healing Spirit's text to be more accurate. Though the complexity of the different healing systems in the game is not easy to explain on a card, I am going with this for now: This excludes drains and the heal-over-time cards (e.g. Healing Beacon, Healing Blessing), which I believe also counter-intuitively didn't benefit from Healing Spirit. It's not perfectly accurate (in theory we could print a pure Attack that does the exact same thing as Heal, and Healing Spirit would affect it...) but as long as we stick to current design guidelines this should hold up. Let me know if I've overlooked something. Thanks!
