Title

Refactor NotFound component to use window.location.replace for immediate redirect

What has changed?

This PR updates the NotFound component to use window.location.replace("/docs") instead of rendering a fallback route.
This ensures users are immediately redirected to the /docs page when accessing a non-existent route, without adding a new entry to the browser history.

Why this change?

Using window.location.replace provides a cleaner redirect behavior for documentation routes:

Prevents unnecessary browser history entries.
Improves user navigation experience.
Keeps the redirect logic simple and efficient.

How has this been tested?

Ran the build command:
```

```
Navigated to a non-existent route (e.g., /random) and verified that it immediately redirects to /docs.
Confirmed that no extra entry is added in browser history and that navigation behaves as expected.
