Add custom 404 and error pages with consistent layout and Azure Static Web Apps configuration

[Copilot]

Create Custom 404 and Error Pages ✅

• Create custom not-found.tsx page for 404 errors that uses the site's layout
• Create custom error.tsx page for general errors that uses the site's layout
• Test the error pages to ensure they match the site's design and layout
• Verify pages work correctly in both light and dark modes
• Address code review feedback
• Pass CodeQL security scan
• Rename error component to GlobalError for clarity
• Add Azure Static Web Apps configuration for custom 404 routing
• Use typography components for consistent fonts
• Refactor to use shared ErrorMessage component

Changes Made

• Added src/src/app/not-found.tsx - Custom 404 error page with clean design
• Added src/src/app/error.tsx - Custom error boundary page with retry functionality
• Added src/public/staticwebapp.config.json - Azure Static Web Apps configuration to route 404 errors to custom page
• Added src/src/components/shared/ErrorMessage.tsx - Shared reusable component for consistent error page UI
• Updated error pages to use typography components (Heading1, Heading2, Text) for consistent font families
• Refactored both pages to use the shared ErrorMessage component - reduces code duplication and improves maintainability
• Both pages use consistent styling with the site's theme (Tailwind CSS custom colors)
• Both pages include the site's navigation bar and footer through the root layout
• Fully responsive design matching the existing site aesthetics
• Support for both light and dark themes
• Used Next.js useRouter for client-side navigation (no full page reload)
• Error logging only in development mode (not in production)
• Component renamed from Error to GlobalError for better clarity

Key Features

✅ Clean, user-friendly error messages
✅ Consistent branding and layout with the rest of the site
✅ Proper font families using typography components
✅ Shared ErrorMessage component for code reusability
✅ Functional "Back to Home" navigation using Next.js router
✅ Error page includes "Try Again" functionality
✅ Responsive design for mobile and desktop
✅ Dark mode support
✅ Production-ready error handling
✅ No security vulnerabilities
✅ Passes code review
✅ Clear and descriptive component names
✅ Azure Static Web Apps properly routes to custom 404 page

Technical Details

ErrorMessage Component:

• Created a shared ErrorMessage.tsx component that encapsulates common error page UI
• Accepts title, heading, message props for customization
• Supports children for custom action buttons (e.g., "Try Again", "Back to Home")
• Both not-found.tsx and error.tsx now use this component, eliminating code duplication
• Makes the error pages more maintainable - changes to the layout only need to be made in one place

Typography Components:

• Replaced raw <h1>, <h2>, and <p> elements with Heading1, Heading2, and Text components
• These components apply proper font families (heading-font for headings, text-font for body text)
• Ensures consistency with the rest of the site's typography system

Azure Static Web Apps Configuration:

The staticwebapp.config.json file configures Azure to serve the custom 404 page instead of the default Azure 404:

• navigationFallback handles client-side routing fallback to /404.html (generated from not-found.tsx)
• responseOverrides ensures proper 404 status codes are returned
• Excludes static assets (images, Next.js files, favicon) from fallback routing

Security Summary

No vulnerabilities were discovered. The implementation follows Next.js best practices for error handling and client-side navigation.

Original prompt

create a error page for 404 or other based on the layout because for now 404 error shows some inconsistent page

@copilot avoid using such a generic name

Renamed the function from Error to GlobalError for better clarity and specificity. (c9561f6)

Fixed! Added staticwebapp.config.json to configure Azure Static Web Apps to serve the custom 404 page. The config file routes 404 errors to /404.html (generated from not-found.tsx during build) while excluding static assets. (460f349)

The custom 404 page will now be served on Azure instead of the default Azure 404 page.

@copilot it looks like a fix but make sure to use typography components to have corrects fonts

Updated both error pages to use typography components (Heading1, Heading2, Text) instead of raw HTML elements. This ensures the proper font families are applied (heading-font for titles, text-font for body text) and maintains consistency with the rest of the site. (d7c84d8)

@copilot not found page should reuse the error component,

maybe rename error to ErrorMessage component

Refactored both error pages to use a shared ErrorMessage component. This reduces code duplication and makes the error pages more maintainable. The component accepts title, heading, and message props, plus optional children for custom buttons. (6fb49e7)
