Cloudflare workers, always response with Http Code 200, no matter the status I set in the response with c.json

[Makisuo]

return c.json({ body: { status: "404", message: "Project doesn't exist", }, status: 404, })

	what am I doing wrong

The issue is that c.json() sets the status code separately from the body. Passing status: 404 inside the body object does not set the HTTP status -- it just adds a field to the JSON payload.

Fix: pass the status code as the second argument to c.json():

return c.json(
  {
    body: {
      status: "404",
      message: "Project doesn't exist",
    },
  },
  404  // <-- HTTP status code goes here
)

The signature is c.json(data, statusCode?). Without the second argument it defaults to 200.
