Yea I’m sure it increases complexity in the backend unless the backend has mandated connection points not allowed to be changed. I wonder if an AI api endpoint would make this easier if it could intelligently route or translate btwn versions reliably

in theory yes, but in practice if each deploy is a version (and for us it is), with multiple deployments per day this becomes unsustainable to track. we settled on the backend always being "current" but supporting multiple front-end versions using the version parameter of the API calls.
