401 is unauthorized as per HTTP specs

I believe we should use the same verbs as HTTP if we are to do any kind of translation here

Also, shouldn't the mint client also have similar changes?

Hi, @polvalente. There's only so much we can do without adding new errors to the library. As the GRPC specification states only 16 error codes, what we do is only a best effort. I copied all the matching pairs from the official implementation in Go

Hi, @polvalente. I managed to write tests, but found that adding the status handling to the mint adapter is quite complex due to current adapter structure. Can't we perhaps open an issue for a mint implementation of this feature in the future? Maybe someone with a better grasp of the mint adapter (or even future me) can take it

I'd rather have them being feature-equivalent as one is meant to be a drop-in replacement of the other.

Can you elaborate on what made it difficult to add this kind of handling?

Essentially, the status is received at ConnectionProcess, which is called to start the request, but the calling process reads the response from the StreamResponseProcess. Meaning I'd need to write some process coordination or rework current coordination logic. Since I don't fully understand the current architecture decisions (yet?), I found this a bit challenging.
