@kubernetes/client-node v1 raises ApiException, which carries the HTTP status
on `.code`. Every check in the orchestrator read only `.statusCode` — the
pre-1.0 HttpError field — so `status` came back undefined and each "expected"
404/409 was rethrown instead of handled.
Found in production: the first start of a server with a volume read a
not-yet-existing PVC, got a 404 that should have meant "create it", and failed
the instance instead. The same latent bug sat in removeContainer, where a
missing pod failed the delete rather than being treated as already gone.
httpStatusOf() checks .code, .statusCode and .response.statusCode, and falls
back to parsing the rendered "HTTP-Code: NNN" message for wrappers that keep
none of them.
