Exception in worker process

Root cause

When gunicorn rejects a request during parsing, handle_error() builds the Response by hand and sets only resp.status. Our PrometheusGunicornLogger.access() reads resp.status_code, which then raises AttributeError.

Suggested fix

Read the status resiliently on the error path rather than assuming status_code exists — e.g. getattr(resp, "status_code", None), or derive it from resp.status (int(resp.status.split()[0]) when resp.status is a string), mirroring how gunicorn's own logger tolerates responses that never went through start_response().
