[Bug]: Navigation Highlight Missing & Rating Allowed Without Authentication

[kavyanjali03]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

The current implementation does not highlight the active page in the navigation bar, reducing navigation clarity. Additionally, users are able to submit product ratings without logging in, which can lead to misuse and unauthenticated actions.

Expected behavior

The active page in the navigation bar should be visually highlighted (e.g., different color, underline) to clearly indicate the current route.

Rating submissions should be restricted to authenticated users only. If a non-logged-in user attempts to rate, they should be prompted to log in or sign up first
