Acceptance Criteria
The home screen features a filter card with a strip of filter thumbnails within the feed.
The card is has a clear heading: "EDIT PHOTOS WITH AWESOME FILTERS" (with sparkle icon)
Each filter thumbnail directs the user to the editing screen with the selected filter automatically applied to the most recent photo in the user's gallery.
