# ECP-0116: Hosted Web Uses Current MoQ Watch
Status: Draft
## Problem / context
The hosted `every.channel` player was pinned to `@moq/watch@0.2.0`. After the web deploy, live playback subscribed and rendered video but still produced heavy upstream watcher churn (`skipping slow group`) on an announced relay stream. The current npm release is `@moq/watch@0.2.10`.
## Decision
Move the hosted web player import fallbacks from `@moq/watch@0.2.0` to `@moq/watch@0.2.10` and keep the module version centralized in `app.js`.
## Consequences
- Hosted playback receives upstream watcher fixes without changing local transport or publisher code.
- The version remains explicitly pinned and mirrored across esm.sh, jsDelivr, and unpkg fallbacks.
- If `0.2.10` regresses, rollback is a one-line version restore.
## Alternatives considered
- Keep `0.2.0`. Rejected because deployed playback still shows watcher churn with the older package.
- Use an unpinned latest import. Rejected because CDN drift would make playback behavior harder to reproduce.
## Rollout / teardown
Deploy the updated web asset to Cloudflare and verify the live site loads the `0.2.10` module URL. Teardown is restoring `MOQ_WATCH_VERSION` to `0.2.0`.
