feat: add dedicated 404 Not Found page for unknown routes

[RounakKumarAgarwal]

Addressed Issues:

Fixes #264

Screenshots:

Additional Notes:

Previously, the catch-all route (path="*") in App.jsx silently redirected every unknown path to /, so users got no feedback that a link was broken.

Changes

• Added src/pages/NotFoundPage.jsx: shows a "Page not found" message, the attempted path, a Go to Home button, and a Go back button (only shown when there is an in-app page to go back to)
• Updated the * route in App.jsx to render NotFoundPage and removed the now-unused Navigate import
• Added src/pages/NotFoundPage.test.jsx covering: renders for unknown routes, displays the attempted path, and "Go to Home" navigates to /

Notes for reviewers

• Uses the existing C design tokens and CSS variables, so it follows light/dark theme automatically; renders inside the existing Layout (Navbar + Footer)
• The GitHub Pages reload fallback (404.html via spaDeepLinkFallback() in vite.config.js) is unchanged; this only affects unknown routes inside the app
• RequireAnalysis behaviour is unchanged: protected routes still redirect to / when no analysis is loaded
• All 47 tests pass (npx vitest run), and npm run build succeeds. The repo has no lint script, so ESLint wasn't run.

Walkthrough

Unknown routes now render a dedicated 404 page instead of redirecting to the home page. The page displays the attempted path and provides home navigation. It shows back navigation when the router location key is not default. Tests cover the page and route behavior.

Changes

Unknown Route Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Not-found page and navigation src/pages/NotFoundPage.jsx, src/pages/NotFoundPage.test.jsx	NotFoundPage displays a 404 message and the attempted path. It provides home navigation and conditionally shows a back button. Tests cover unknown-route rendering and both navigation options.
Wildcard route integration src/App.jsx, src/App.test.jsx	The wildcard route renders NotFoundPage instead of redirecting to /. The unused Navigate import is removed. An app-level test checks for the not-found heading.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested labels: Typescript Lang

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5bff7

The 404 page does not show the attempted path, which the linked issue requires. Add it before merging. The back-button edge case is small.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to bf301

The change is limited to client-side routing. The attempted path is displayed as text, and protected routes retain their existing guard. The back button may not always lead to another page in the app.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed public reachability is the frontend wildcard route and its navigation controls; the inspected page does not use the supplied path as markup or a URL target.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Untrusted URL path text is rendered as a JSX child, and the wildcard destination does not remove the guards from protected routes.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If Back must guarantee an in-app destination, establish a known in-app predecessor rather than relying on the location key alone.

Explanation

Issue #264 requires the Not Found page to display the attempted path. NotFoundPage calls useLocation() but destructures only key, and its rendered content does not include pathname. The route replacement, 404 message, home action, conditional back action, existing layout, theme variables, responsive flex styles, and focused tests are otherwise in scope.

_{A rabbit found a path astray,
A 404 now marks the way.
“Go to Home” points paths anew,
“Go back” appears when history’s true.
The routes are tested, clear, and bright,
Then hops the rabbit out of sight.}

- Line 12: Update the tests in NotFoundPage.test.jsx to render App inside a
router at an unknown path and assert that the not-found page appears. Exercise
App’s wildcard route rather than defining a separate Routes tree or mounting
NotFoundPage directly.
- Line 39: Update the NotFoundPage tests to cover both history states: a direct
unknown-route entry where “Go back” is absent, and an unknown route reached from
an in-app route where it is present and clicking it returns to the prior route.
Configure the MemoryRouter fixture to populate the same window.history.state.idx
value that NotFoundPage checks.

- Line 13: Update the back-button condition in the NotFoundPage component: do
not use the location key to infer history availability; track whether an earlier
in-app entry exists and show “Go back” only when it does, keeping navigation
unavailable when no such entry exists.
- Line 7: Update NotFoundPage to read location.pathname from useLocation() and
include it in the 404 message, so users can identify the attempted route.

@rahul-vyas-dev updated the 404 text to match your design . CodeRabbit flagged two things, but I've kept them aligned with the minimal design you asked for:

It suggested showing the attempted path (like /abc) on the page. I've left that out intentionally, since the simpler design you approved doesn't include it.

It flagged an edge case in the "Go back" button logic. It's a rare case and the button degrades harmlessly (worst case it's a no-op), so I've kept the logic simple rather than adding complexity to a minimal page. If you suggest I can add on this too
