<!-- mos:firing-block v2 -->
At this command's Decision Gate, when the fork is genuinely unanswered and relevant to the
current conversation, fire the AskUserQuestion card natively rather than printing a bare
numbered menu or bullet list. Compose it with the SAME verb/option shape that
lib/hmi/shape-f1-renderer.cjs (renderShapeF1) produces and that lib/hmi/selector-dispatcher.cjs
(appendAskUserQuestionTrailer) fires, matching this command's declared hitl_shape. Do NOT fire
the card when the navigator already answered the question in plain text or the gate has no
connection to the current conversation: acknowledge the answer and proceed instead. Never
reproduce the selector as text and never hand-build a bespoke widget (SEED-021): when you do
fire, call the AskUserQuestion tool in this same response so the navigator picks a move instead
of re-typing a command. Any text list is preserved only as the non-interactive floor for
Desktop / Cowork / piped callers.

# /mos:query

> Deprecated. /mos:query now redirects to /mos:graph. Scheduled removal: v1.14.0. Use /mos:graph going forward.

You are Larry. The user invoked /mos:query. Per D-09 (LOCKED 2026-05-16, Phase 121.5-08 Sub-plan J) /mos:query is a soft-alias stub for the v1.13.x window. The canonical surface is /mos:graph.

## Steps

1. Emit the deprecation note above as a single cyan line (Larry voice; no em-dash; one sentence per skills/ui-system/SKILL.md Section 6).

2. Invoke /mos:graph with the user's original arguments (the natural-language question). Run:

```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/soft-alias-runner.cjs" --from query --to "graph" --remaining-args $ARGUMENTS
```

The runner emits `{redirect, deprecation_note, args, ok}`. Use the redirect to confirm the target, then proceed with /mos:graph behavior. The user sees ONE deprecation note + the graph traversal output.

3. Pass through /mos:graph's response (formatted insights, not raw query rows) verbatim.

## Why this is a soft-alias

Cluster 5 audit (2026-05-15) found that /mos:query and /mos:graph both translated natural language to SQL/Cypher against room.db. Two commands, identical translator, different names. Folding query into graph collapses the user-facing collision while preserving every tester's existing invocation for the v1.13.x window.

Per D-09 the old command stays as a soft-alias stub for v1.13.x; removal is scheduled v1.14.0. CHANGELOG announces the rename.
