API Development
A code review finds a hand-written OpenAPI YAML file with no CI check verifying it matches the actual route implementations, on a codebase where routes change weekly. What risk should be flagged?
A
No risk — hand-written specs are always reliable
B
High drift risk — with no automated verification and frequent route changes, this spec will likely diverge from reality, exactly the failure mode demonstrated in Try It
C
This is only a risk if the API has zero external consumers
D
YAML files cannot become outdated
