overview
Ticket and fix
Some of the remote calls from the app to the shell were leaking Electron RPC (not to be confused with our Robot RPC API) remote objects into the Redux state.
If the main process does anything weird to these remote objects, the Redux state might be mutated under our feet, which in the worst case could white-screen the UI. This commit removes unnecessary remote calls and ensure returned objects are cloned into plain-old JS objects.
