Daryl: Actions causing the down to end and stopping the clock are listed in 3-4-4. If this punt would have gone OB, then you would have started on the snap after penalty enforcement. If a fair catch would have been made it starts on snap after penalty enforcement. If this play would have been an incomplete forward pass it would start on the snap after penalty enforcement. If this would have been an interception and had penalty acceptance you would start on the ready as you had a completed pass inbounds.
This was a punt recovery inbounds, the clock stopped originally because of the recovered punt, as you always would but when you discover the penalty the overriding reason the clock stops is 5-1-2 and nothing more. As the penalty has to be accounted for, the reason then that the clock stopped was for the penalty and the associated TO, not the recovery. Please Daryl for all our sakes and the lives of our loved ones, accept that it starts on the ready.
