Description

# 🚀 Feature Request

Right now the current 404 page is pretty bland:

For starters I think we could make it basic with just the headers and use the font and style of the current doc pages, so something like this, but with the font changed:

Maybe even throw in an Edgey for flair:

**Edit**: Apparently a better looking 404.html exists, but is not in use. It may also be missing the `/lastest` redirect logic, which would need to be added:

(Actual 404)

(404.html, if browsed directly to it)

Research direction

Start by locating the existing 404.html and comparing it with the actual 404 page and current documentation styling. Verify how the /lastest redirect logic is handled, then confirm that the improved page is used for missing-page requests, matches the documentation font and style, and preserves the expected redirect behavior.
