Description
This PR fixes the confusing behavior described in issue #4896 where navigating to a non-existent record URL loads a blank record form with an “Unsaved Changes” badge instead of an error page. Now, when the requested record does not exist, the user sees a clear “Record not found” error page that matches the existing schema error page in layout and tone.
This PR completes the following tasks:
Screenshots
Before: non-existent record URL shows an empty record form with an “Unsaved Changes” badge.
After: non-existent record URL shows a centered “Error / Record not found.” message and a green “Go to homepage” button.
