Only changing code for new features seems risky to me.

I vaguely recall that running the old version in parallel could be a good fallback, but I don't think that's a common practice. It seems like a lot of extra work.

I feel like option D could be valid too, but what if there are hidden issues in the new version? I’m a bit uncertain about just relying on that.

I think option B makes sense because understanding the changes could help us assess the impact on our current implementation. We practiced a similar question about API updates last week.

I remember we discussed how semantic versioning indicates that there might be breaking changes, but since the endpoint hasn't changed, I'm not sure if we need full regression testing.

This seems straightforward. As long as the endpoint didn't change, I just need to make sure my client code is compatible with the new version.
