Description

Add watchOnce() method to avoid accidentally watching a channel multiple times...

EDIT maybe it should be called something different because watchOnce sounds like it will only invoke the handler once... In fact it means 'attach once' but can trigger multiple times.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. First locate the existing channel-watching API and its tests, then clarify the method name and the intended attach-once behavior with maintainers. Done means the chosen API prevents duplicate channel attachments while still allowing multiple handler triggers, with tests documenting that behavior.
