In the code before the change, matching occurs only when there is no trailing slash (/) in the URL. That is, /status/200/ will match, but /status/200/ will not.
In Flask routing, trailing slashes have a special meaning. If a trailing slash is present, accesses to URLs without that slash are automatically redirected to URLs with the slash. Conversely, if there is no trailing slash, access to a URL with a trailing slash will return a 308 error.
Thus, this change is intended to allow access to URLs with trailing slashes (such as /status/200/), thereby ensuring that the same view is used whether the URL has a trailing slash or not. This allows for normal operation even if the user forgets to add a trailing slash.
