Remember you have to say apt dist-upgrade to get the minor version bump.

Um, do you? I don't seem to need to, never had except for major release updates and changing sources.

Just now;

root@backups:~# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="13"
VERSION="13 (trixie)"
VERSION_CODENAME=trixie
DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.5

Then "apt update" and "apt upgrade" followed by "reboot" and

root@backups:~# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="13"
VERSION="13 (trixie)"
VERSION_CODENAME=trixie
DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.6

(My history)

 497  apt update
  498  cat /etc/os-release
  499  apt upgrade
  500  reboot
  501  uname -a
  502  cat /etc/os-release
  503  history

Afaik apt-get upgrade would not add or remove packages, where dist-upgrade would. However apt upgrade will install new packages but not remove any. Where full-upgrade (new naming, but dist-upgrade is also kept for the same function) will also remove packages.
