Problem

All sub-paths under /tower/ (e.g. /tower/api, /tower/anything) resolve
to the same SPA page. This means mistyped URLs or direct API path access from
the tower context silently load the wrong page instead of returning a proper
404 or redirecting.

Solution

Configure the SPA router or server to:

  • Only catch known Tower routes
  • Return 404 for unknown sub-paths
  • Or redirect unknown paths to the Tower root with a toast notification

Acceptance Criteria

  • /tower/ loads the Tower World correctly
  • /tower/nonexistent returns 404 or redirects with notification
  • Known routes (if any sub-routes exist) still work

Severity

Low — cosmetic/correctness issue, not blocking functionality.

PR #9 created.

Changes:

  • Added 404.html — a styled "Lost in the Tower" page matching the site design
  • Added client-side path validation in world/index.html that redirects unknown sub-paths (e.g. /world/api, /world/nonexistent) to the 404 page via window.location.replace

The script checks if the current path is exactly /world (with or without trailing slash). Any other sub-path gets redirected to /404.html. The 404 page links back to the entry hall.
