feat(ux): edge fades hint that filter rows scroll horizontally

Chips clipped at the viewport edge with no cue that more filters exist.
New reusable EdgeFade widget (ShaderMask + dstIn) fades an edge only
while content remains beyond it, driven by scroll metrics; RTL mirrors
via Directionality. Applied to the inventory filter bar, market filter
bar and calendar month strip.
