When visiting an article page that wasn't built (see SSG crash bug), or any genuinely missing URL, the user sees plain "Not Found" text on a white page with:

  • No site header/navigation
  • No footer
  • No "back to home" link
  • No search suggestion
  • No styling whatsoever

This is a dead-end for the user.

Location

Preview server at `scripts/preview-serve.ts` lines 92-104 — returns raw text for 404.

Expected

Full site layout (header + footer) with friendly message, search box, and links to popular articles.

Fixed in 589b790. The 404 fallback now returns a styled HTML page with a heading, description, link to /, and search hint — instead of bare plain text. Keeps the try for dist/404.html first.
