fix(core): copy status from source error in AxiosError.from (#7403)

skrtheboss · jasonsaayman · web-flow · commit d51accbea1fa · 2026-02-18T19:33:28.000+02:00
When creating an AxiosError from an existing error without a response object, the status property from the source error is now preserved. This ensures error status information is not lost during error conversion. Fixes #7364 Co-authored-by: Jay <jasonsaayman@gmail.com>
