Describe the bug

While I was checking #515 , I tried to check the latest state of 404 pages and found out that 404 errors are not handled anymore. While https://processing.org/404 is working fine, a page / URL that doesn't exist doesn't make use of the 404 page: https://processing.org/missing-page

Expected behavior

404 errors should render https://processing.org/404 page with the requested URL.

Research direction

Start by comparing the working https://processing.org/404 page with the missing route at https://processing.org/missing-page, then trace the site's 404 handling and routing entry point. Done means nonexistent URLs render the 404 page and include the requested URL, matching the expected behavior described in the issue.
