# ECP-0063: Cloudflare MoQ Relay + WebTransport-Only Web Watch
Status: Draft
## Decision
Adopt Cloudflare's MoQ relay preview as the default "global" distribution layer and make the web watcher path WebTransport-only.
Concrete changes:
1. `ec-node` gains a WebTransport MoQ publisher path that can publish a live CMAF (fMP4) stream to a relay URL (default: `https://relay.cloudflare.mediaoverquic.com/`).
2. `every.channel` (the deployed static site) becomes a real web watcher by embedding a WebTransport-capable MoQ player component (`<hang-watch>`).
3. The existing WebRTC/WS bootstrap directory/relay remains temporarily for compatibility, but is treated as deprecated once MoQ/WebTransport is stable.
## Motivation
The project goal is one-to-many live streaming at global scale without rebuilding a bespoke stateful SFU stack.
MoQ over WebTransport moves the core system boundary to:
- publisher produces timed objects (CMAF fragments),
- relays cache/fanout,
- subscribers fetch via a single WebTransport session.
This aligns the "global watcher" story with an infrastructure-native model rather than point-to-point rendezvous.
## Scope
In scope for this ECP:
- "Watch from the web" using WebTransport to a MoQ relay.
- "Publish from a node" to the relay, using ffmpeg to create fMP4 fragments.
- A shareable link format for `every.channel` to open a specific relay + broadcast name.
Out of scope (explicitly deferred):
- Global discovery/index of broadcasts.
- Manifest signing / Merkle availability / anti-junk (separate ECPs already exist).
- Safari support guarantees (implement anyway; provide guidance/flag notes).
- Multi-variant ladders and ABR (follow-on ECP once single-variant publish/watch works end-to-end).
## Technical Notes
### Relay default
Default relay endpoint is:
- `https://relay.cloudflare.mediaoverquic.com/`
Nodes may override via CLI flags for self-hosted relays or future Cloudflare relay endpoints.
### Web player
Use the `@kixelated/hang` web component:
- `<hang-watch url="..." name="..." controls>`
This is WebTransport + WebCodecs based, and is expected to interoperate with Cloudflare's current relay preview.
### Share link
Web share link:
- `https://every.channel/watch?url=<relay-url>&name=<broadcast-name>`
## Rollout / Reversibility
- Keep existing `/api/*` bootstrap endpoints during migration.
- Make the web site prefer MoQ/WebTransport; keep legacy paths hidden behind "advanced" until removed.
- Reversible by switching the deployed assets back to the previous UI build, and/or pointing users at the legacy paths.
