Pull Request Overview
This PR improves the user experience for logged-out visitors by changing the primary CTA button text from "Want to Read" to "Add to List" when no reading status is set and the user is not authenticated. This reduces confusion for anonymous users who might misinterpret "Want to Read" as a way to access the book content.
Key changes:
- Modified the conditional logic in
primary_action.htmlto check foruser_keybefore defaulting to "Want to Read" - Added "Add to List" as the message for logged-out users without a reading status

Closes #11496
Reduce confusion for patrons who click "Want to Read" expecting to get the book (for logged out patrons)
This pull request makes a small improvement to the logic for displaying the primary action message in the
primary_action.htmltemplate. Now, if there is noread_statusand the user is not logged in (user_keyis not set), the message will show as "Add to List" instead of "Want to Read". This clarifies the action for anonymous users.
