Listing entries in a ForumChannel?

I am wanting to list entries in a ForumChannel, but I am not sure how to go about it? I have a topic with two forum threads (if that is the right terminology?), but the following code returns 0: 
async function listForumThreads (channelId: string, since?: Date) {
  const client = await getClient();
  const channel = client.channels.cache.get(channelId) as Channel;

  if (channel?.type === ChannelType.GuildForum) {
    console.log('Channel:', channel.name);
    console.log('Topic:', channel.topic);
    const channelForum = channel as ForumChannel;
    const fetchedThreads = await channelForum.threads.fetch(undefined, { cache: false });

    let idx = 0;
    console.log('XX', fetchedThreads.threads.entries.length);
    fetchedThreads.threads.forEach(message => {;
      console.log(idx++, message.toJSON());
    });
  }

  process.exit(1);
}
async function listForumThreads (channelId: string, since?: Date) {
  const client = await getClient();
  const channel = client.channels.cache.get(channelId) as Channel;

  if (channel?.type === ChannelType.GuildForum) {
    console.log('Channel:', channel.name);
    console.log('Topic:', channel.topic);
    const channelForum = channel as ForumChannel;
    const fetchedThreads = await channelForum.threads.fetch(undefined, { cache: false });

    let idx = 0;
    console.log('XX', fetchedThreads.threads.entries.length);
    fetchedThreads.threads.forEach(message => {;
      console.log(idx++, message.toJSON());
    });
  }

  process.exit(1);
}
I am trying to list the threads in a ForumChannel, their details and messages, but I am not sure how to go about his? - Discord.js 14.17.3 - Node v22.13.0

:method: GuildForumThreadManager#fetch() [email protected] Obtains a thread from Discord, or the channel cache if it's already available. 
// Fetch a thread by its id
channel.threads.fetch('831955138126104859')
  .then(channel => console.log(channel.name))
  .catch(console.error);

I had looked at this, but it only returns one thread. Not the list of threads in the channel.

Turns out the issue was archived threads. This works for me, as a test bed: 
async function displayThreads (threads: AnyThreadChannel[]) {
  for (let i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
    const messages = await threads[i].messages.fetch();
    console.log('Name:', threads[i].name, `(msg count: ${messages.size})`);
    messages.forEach(message => {
      console.log('-', message.content);
    });
  }
}

async function listForumThreads (channelId: string, since?: Date) {
  const client = await getClient();
  const channel = client.channels.cache.get(channelId) as Channel;

  if (channel?.type === ChannelType.GuildForum) {
    console.log('Channel:', channel.name);
    console.log('Topic:', channel.topic);

    const forumChannel = channel as ForumChannel;

    const threadCacheA = await forumChannel.threads.fetchActive(false);
    const theadForumChannelsA = Array.from(threadCacheA.threads.entries());
    console.log('XX', theadForumChannelsA.length);
    displayThreads(Array.from(threadCacheA.threads.entries()).map(entry => entry[1]));

    const threadCacheB = await forumChannel.threads.fetchActive(true);
    const theadForumChannelsB = Array.from(threadCacheB.threads.entries());
    console.log('YY', theadForumChannelsB.length);
    displayThreads(Array.from(threadCacheB.threads.entries()).map(entry => entry[1]));

    const threadCacheC = await forumChannel.threads.fetchArchived({ fetchAll: true });
    const theadForumChannelsC = Array.from(threadCacheC.threads.entries());
    console.log('ZZ', theadForumChannelsC.length);
    displayThreads(Array.from(threadCacheC.threads.entries()).map(entry => entry[1]));
  }

  process.exit(1);
}
async function displayThreads (threads: AnyThreadChannel[]) {
  for (let i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
    const messages = await threads[i].messages.fetch();
    console.log('Name:', threads[i].name, `(msg count: ${messages.size})`);
    messages.forEach(message => {
      console.log('-', message.content);
    });
  }
}

async function listForumThreads (channelId: string, since?: Date) {
  const client = await getClient();
  const channel = client.channels.cache.get(channelId) as Channel;

  if (channel?.type === ChannelType.GuildForum) {
    console.log('Channel:', channel.name);

    const forumChannel = channel as ForumChannel;

    const theadForumChannelsA = Array.from(threadCacheA.threads.entries());
    console.log('XX', theadForumChannelsA.length);
    displayThreads(Array.from(threadCacheA.threads.entries()).map(entry => entry[1]));

    const threadCacheB = await forumChannel.threads.fetchActive(true);
    const theadForumChannelsB = Array.from(threadCacheB.threads.entries());
    console.log('YY', theadForumChannelsB.length);
    displayThreads(Array.from(threadCacheB.threads.entries()).map(entry => entry[1]));

    const threadCacheC = await forumChannel.threads.fetchArchived({ fetchAll: true });
    const theadForumChannelsC = Array.from(threadCacheC.threads.entries());
