How to show items as in stock even when they're not available?

Topic summary

Issue: Product pages display “in stock” even when items are unavailable, despite disabling the “continue when out of stock” setting.

Context: The store ships directly to customers (items may not be on-premise), and products should remain visible when unavailable. However, the availability label still shows as in stock, contradicting the inventory setting.

Details provided:

Status: Seeking advice on how to correctly reflect availability (keep product visible but not marked in stock). No solution or responses yet; unresolved and open.
