Bug Summary

The "Initialize Review Input" button on the Review Page does not perform any action when clicked. Users are redirected to the Review Page successfully from the Homepage Testimonial section, but they are unable to proceed with writing or submitting a review because the primary CTA button is unresponsive.

Bug Description

The Homepage contains a "Write Review" button within the Testimonial section. Clicking this button correctly navigates users to the dedicated Review Page.

However, on the Review Page, the prominent "Initialize Review Input" button appears to be inactive. Clicking the button does not open a review form, display any input fields, trigger any modal, navigate to another section, or provide any visual feedback.

This creates a broken user flow where users are encouraged to leave feedback but are unable to actually submit a review.

Expected Flow:

Homepage → Testimonial Section → Write Review → Review Page → Initialize Review Input → Review Form Opens → User Submits Review

Current Flow:

Homepage → Testimonial Section → Write Review → Review Page → Initialize Review Input → No Action

Steps to Reproduce

Open the Algo homepage.
Scroll to the Testimonial section.
Click the "Write Review" button.
Verify that the Review Page opens successfully.
Click the "Initialize Review Input" button.
Observe that no action is performed.

Expected Behavior

Clicking the "Initialize Review Input" button should:

Open a review submission form, modal, or input section.
Allow users to enter review details.
Provide clear feedback that the review process has started.
Continue the intended review submission workflow.

Actual Behavior

The button is visible and clickable.
No form or input field appears.
No navigation occurs.
No modal opens.
No visual feedback is displayed.
Users cannot proceed with submitting a review.
