🐛 "Create Governance Action" Page Not Functioning Properly

Context

The "Create Governance Action" page is still accessible on govtool. Does this mean users can create a governance action directly without following the proposal creation flow? If so, all governance action types listed on this page should work as expected. However, selecting HardForkInitiation or ParameterChange results in a null error.

Additionally, submitting a governance action (other than HardForkInitiation and ParameterChange) gets stuck on loading and does not complete.

Steps to reproduce

1. Connect your wallet.
2. Navigate to gov.tools/create_governance_action.
3. Select HardForkInitiation or ParameterChange as the proposal type.
4. Observe the blank screen and check the console for errors.

Actual behavior

• The "Create Governance Action" page is still accessible.

• Selecting HardForkInitiation or ParameterChange results in a blank screen.

• Submitting governance actions of other types gets stuck on loading.

Expected behavior

• If governance actions require following the full proposal flow (proposal creation → comments/likes/polls → submission as governance action), then "Create Governance Action" page should be removed.
• If the page remains accessible, users should be able to submit proposals without errors or getting stuck.

This page is obsolete and user can't create governance action without proposal discussion forum. This page is existing for the development purposes and hard fork and protocol parameter actions are not yet supported in that development environment.

Also this page is existing only when proposal discussion feature flag is set to false which is not the case anywhere except the dev env (or testing in your case)
