tx-graph (deprecated)

Deprecated compatibility symlink

tx-graph is a one-release compatibility symlink to cq-rdf body. New work should target the cq-rdf subcommands directly. The symlink will be removed in a follow-up release once downstream consumers have migrated.

Under epic #66 the previous tx-graph CLI was split into four orthogonal subcommands under the new cq-rdf binary. Today's tx-graph executable forwards every invocation to cq-rdf body so existing scripts and packaged binaries continue to work for one release.

Migration

Old invocation	New invocation
tx-graph tx.cbor	cq-rdf body tx.cbor
tx-graph --provider blockfrost --token "$T" <txid>	cq-rdf body --provider blockfrost --token "$T" <txid>
tx-graph --rules overlay.yaml > overlay.ttl	cq-rdf overlay --in overlay.yaml > overlay.ttl
tx-graph --rules overlay.yaml tx.cbor > tx.ttl	cq-rdf overlay --in overlay.yaml > overlay.ttl then cq-rdf body tx.cbor > body.ttl then cat overlay.ttl body.ttl

The split is the point of the epic: separating overlay emission from body emission removes the blank-node inflation that --rules caused when it was repeated on every per-transaction call, and it makes the typed-decode (cq-rdf blueprint) and SHACL validation (cq-rdf shacl) passes available as independent stages.

tx-graph --rules X continues to emit overlay TTL via the compat shim, but the call shape conflates three jobs (overlay, body, decode) and is documented to be removed.
