I'm on Angular v20.2 using the new SSR API to define how my routes should be rendered. I've also switched to the new AngularAppNodeEngine as seen in the docs.

server.ts:

import { AngularNodeAppEngine, createNodeRequestHandler, writeResponseToNodeResponse } from '@angular/ssr/node';
import express from 'express';

const app = express();
const angularApp = new AngularNodeAppEngine();

app.use('*', (req, res, next) => {
  angularApp
    .handle(req)
    .then(response => {
      if (response) {
        writeResponseToNodeResponse(response, res);
      } else {
        next(); // Pass control to the next middleware
      }
    })
    .catch(next);
});

/**
 * The request handler used by the Angular CLI (dev-server and during build).
 */
export const reqHandler = createNodeRequestHandler(app);

app.routes.ts:

export const routes: Route[] = [
  {
    path: '404',
    loadComponent: () => import('./views/not-found/not-found.component').then(m => m.AppNotFoundComponent),
  },
  {
    loadComponent: () => import('./views/page/page.component').then(m => m.AppPageComponent),
    matcher: url => {
      ... some matching logic that works fine ...
    },
  }
];

app.routes.server.ts:

import { RenderMode, ServerRoute } from '@angular/ssr';

export const serverRoutes: ServerRoute[] = [
  {
    path: '**',
    renderMode: RenderMode.Server,
  },
  {
    path: '404',
    renderMode: RenderMode.Server,
    status: 404,
    headers: {
      'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
    },
  }
];

app.config.server.ts:

import { mergeApplicationConfig, ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideServerRendering, withRoutes } from '@angular/ssr';

import { appConfig } from './app.config';
import { serverRoutes } from './app.routes.server';

const serverConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [provideServerRendering(withRoutes(serverRoutes))],
};

export const config = mergeApplicationConfig(appConfig, serverConfig);

Then I just run this for when my server can't find a url:

this.router.navigateByUrl('/404', { skipLocationChange: true });

I've also tried without skipLocationChange: true:

this.router.navigateByUrl('/404');

But both give a 200 status code for the server request instead of 404. It does render the correct HTML though.

What am I missing in my configuration to get the status code to work properly?
