Not necessarily. A mojo is not required to fork, only if it has prerequisites from the lifecycle. Many mojos invoked from the CLI are fully independent and don’t specify a phase or fork phase at all. I personally don’t recommend this type of setup, it’s either part of the lifecycle so run it from the lifecycle or it’s not.
