Description
**Description of the false positive**
CodeQL incorrectly identifies dataflow occurring from a constant value when a tuple is being destructured.
**Code samples or links to source code**

Here's it's very clear that `status` will always be `200` on this data flow path, but CodeQL incorrectly believes there is dataflow from the `res.json()` to the `status` variable.
