Closes #204

🧠 Description

• A critical backend bug was resolved where a user's userId was being saved even on anonymous submissions. This was fixed by making the userId optional in the database model and updating the controller to conditionally add the ID only if the submission is not anonymous.

• A frontend bug was fixed where the feedback popup would display stale data from the previous submission. The component's state is now programmatically reset every time the modal is opened, ensuring a clean, blank form for the user.

• All native browser alert()s were replaced with modern, non-blocking react-toastify notifications. This logic was centralized within the Feedback to handle success and error states, providing a more professional and seamless user experience.
