The error status codes in a response body have to be more specific I suggest we use own status codes.
For example the endpoint user.authenticate can fail due to:

• user does not exist (Not Found)
• wrong password (Not Authenticated)
• user is not from the node's organization (Decryption Failed)

So in the User Not Found case the response is a 400 Bad Request with following response body:

{
code: 1234,
message: "authentication failed: user does not exist"
}
