Description

Please select the area the issue is related to

Area/Management (Management API or Management Portal UI)

Please select the aspect the issue is related to

Aspect/API (API backends, definitions, contracts, interfaces, OpenAPI)

Description

As there are new gateways released (minor/major releases with new features) the platform api needs to keep track of which version it belongs to.
This would help populating correct setup URLs, correct configurations in the portals as platform api acts as backend to it.
In addition this would help maintaining backward compatibility.

Key Decisions to Make:

  1. How granular version we expect to keep.
  2. Should the verision be updated as a explicit manual task, or else should platform api depend on gateway controller to notify if there is a version change.
  3. Can a gateway upgraded to its major version without creating a new gateway.

Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the platform API and its gateway controller integration, then resolve the required version granularity, update mechanism, and major-upgrade behavior. Done means the platform API tracks gateway versions to support correct setup URLs, configurations, and backward compatibility.
