Description
Direct Line now returns an httpStatusCode field in the error JSON accompanying HTTP 502s caused by bot timeouts/errors. Is it possible to wire this up so clients have an easy time seeing the bot's HTTP status code?
Example below illustrates a bot returning HTTP 404.
HTTP/1.1 502
...
{
"error": {
"code": "ServiceError",
"message": "Failed to send activity: bot returned an error"
},
"httpStatusCode": 404
}

Research direction
Start by locating the Direct Line error-response handling and checking how the JSON error payload is exposed to clients. Use the provided 502 response, including httpStatusCode 404, as the expected case; done means clients can access that bot HTTP status and coverage verifies it.
