Research direction

Start by inspecting the docs deployment and its MkDocs configuration, then compare the current behavior with MkDocs' 404-page guidance and GitHub Pages' custom 404 documentation. The work is done when a nonexistent URL such as /foo displays a custom 404 page instead of the basic result.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I think we need to re-add a custom 404 page or error.html to our docs to help with this. I thought mkdocs automatically generated one, but perhaps there's something about our deployment I don't know.
