Description

When navigating to a non-existent document, the app shows a generic error toast and redirects to dashboard without explaining what happened:

doc = await api.getDocument(id);
} catch (e) {
  app.showToast('Failed to load document', 'error');
  app.navigate('dashboard');
  return;
}

Problem

User does not know if the document was deleted, they don't have permission, or if they typed the wrong ID.

Recommendation

Show a more descriptive error message based on the HTTP status code:

404: "Document not found"
403: "You don't have permission to view this document"
etc.
