You use route from Direct protocol exported to OSPF. Contrary to other protocols, default value of 'check link' option for Direct protocol is 'no'. Just enable it:

Ah yes, indeed, the route has now disappeared, thanks! May I ask why it’s not enabled by default? I don’t see why one would to announce an down link without an explicit configuration for it. Regards, -- Alarig
