# `[2026-09-08]` yt-voice-clipper back UP

**yt-voice-clipper back UP** — dead since the 09-06 danted retirement (every job failed at yt-dlp, bot-gated on the Irvine datacenter IP). Fix: danted on **nh3-scale** (CT107) at `socks5h://100.64.0.1:1080`, fleet-ACL'd, residential egress 70.230.226.88 measured; `YTVC_PROXY` repointed, worker recreated, end-to-end job DONE with positive (proxied) + negative (direct = bot-gate) controls. Homepage card href/siteMonitor → `irv-ml1.nh3.internal:8000` (was dead wg0 IP). Then a SECOND fault: full downloads 403'd through the proxy (cookies irrelevant) = stale yt-dlp 2026.07.04 from a cached Dockerfile layer → `compose build --no-cache api` (2026.08.19), which dragged in a whisperx/nltk that needs `punkt_tab` → staged on the data volume + `NLTK_DATA` in the override. Operator's video x7kWJojf1MI → done, 8 clips. yt-voice-clipper-dev shipped both Dockerfile fixes + **CrisperWhisper 2.0 (v0.3.6, `b62849d`) — deployed and verified (12 clips, [UM]/[UH] tags)**. ⚠ The gitea push webhook had been targeting the dead wg0 IP since 09-06 (never fired) → repointed to `10.6.110.50:9008` with the HMAC secret re-applied; deploy script passes `YTDLP_REFRESH`. Script `scripts/setup-nh3-scale-socks-egress.sh`. → auto-memory `reference_nh3_egress_proxy`, `reference_ytvc_autodeploy`.
