Description

Permalinks such as [1] currently always return 200 status, even if the thread cannot be found [2].

If a link cannot be found, the page should return 404.

Research direction

Reproduce the two linked thread URLs and trace how permalink requests handle a missing thread. Confirm that an existing object still responds normally, while each unavailable object returns HTTP 404 instead of 200.
