+/**
+ * E2E (#1150): Full-page node detail header must NOT remain "Loading…"
+ * forever when /api/nodes/{pubkey} returns 404.
+ *
+ * Repro: navigate to /#/nodes/{unknown_pubkey}. The body shows
+ * "Failed to load node: API 404" but the back-row title stays "Loading…"
+ * with no link back to the Nodes list.
+ *
+ * After the fix:
+ *   1. Page back-row title is NOT "Loading…" — it should reflect "Node not found"
+ *      or include the unknown pubkey prefix.
+ *   2. Body content surfaces an error state mentioning "not found" / "unknown".
+ *   3. There is a link back to /#/nodes (in addition to the existing back arrow).
+ *
+ * Usage: BASE_URL=http://localhost:13581 node test-issue-1150-404-state-e2e.js
