Errors

File not found

API/download lookup found no active file for this id (JSON error with a period).

File not found

An API or grant mint looked up a file id and found no active row. Product text includes the period: “File not found.”

Why this happens

Wrong id, deleted/trashed file, or treating a folder id as a file. Common on /api/download/grant, member/API download routes, and some comment access paths that 404 as file-missing.

Diagnose and fix

1. Confirm the public/file id still exists and is active.

2. At mint time this means the landing page already lost the file — share a new URL after restore.

3. API clients: verify you are not sending a folder id.

4. Sibling title-only File not found (page title) is SSR metadata without the period.
