just curious why this is SHOULD? what other status code would be acceptable here? (in theory i could see something like a 201 on mutation, so i could see someone trying to be a good REST citizen and implementing that)
(I realize this is an existing wording and probably already discussed)

201 is the reason. Or more general make sure that clients to not do == 200 checks in case we want to use other codes in the future.

Just like there is GraphQL-over-HTTP request, this PR introduces GraphQL-over-HTTP response.
Using GraphQL response was misleading because the HTTP specification doesn't say anything about response streams and we might end up using a separate media type for this (application/graphql-responses+jsonl, ...)
Instead, this PR introduces a new GraphQL-over-HTTP response that is either an execution result or a request error result, but not a response stream.
