If clutch pedal + hydraulics worked before, I'd look for:

incorrect assembly inside clutch housing, or incorrect parts.

If assembled correctly with correct parts, here's a long shot idea.

Could the throw out bearing tube be coming loose?

When I rebuilt my clutch housing, there was one loose (stripped) bolt
on the TOB tube. And IIRC, PO's receipts show 2 clutch jobs done
within a short period of time which included something to do with the
TOB tube. My thought is that the TOB tube came loose after (or was
loose prior to) first clutch job.
