Research direction

The issue references graph-node's graphql/src/execution/query.rs at the linked query-complexity logic, but names no graph-client files or tests. Start by tracing how graph-client builds and sends queries, then identify where a preflight warning could be observed; done means overly complex queries warn before the runtime failure described.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

graph-node has limitations on query complexity/weight (https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node/blob/5732ddfdd4496773a68593aa6705bbc96e70bdf2/graphql/src/execution/query.rs#L574). We can detect those ahead of time and warn the user, instead of failing at runtime.
