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

Suggested reviewers: ri1tik

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6b302

The 404 page still omits the requested URL, making it harder for visitors to identify a mistyped or outdated link. The page and home navigation remain usable, so this is a bounded user-experience gap.

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.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to the catch-all route, the new Not Found page, and focused tests for the route behavior. They support issue #264. No change to protected-route redirects or the GitHub Pages fallback is present.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #264 requires the page to display the attempted path. NotFoundPage reads only key from useLocation() and does not render pathname. The route replacement, 404 message, home action, optional back action, existing Layout, theme variables, responsive styles, and focused tests are in scope. The current tests also do not verify the attempted path.

Resolution

Read pathname from useLocation(), render it on NotFoundPage, and add a test that verifies the path appears for an unknown route.

A rabbit found a path gone wrong,
A 404 page greeted its hop.
The pathname showed where it had strayed,
A homeward button lit the way.
If history allowed, back it sprang,
Then tucked its ears and sang.

@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
