Issue: We were using our own implementation to mimic
makeSingleInstance
from #679. This was because of electron/electron#9880, where the API was not working correctly on POSIX systems - it would hang and cause issues.Fix: It's preferable to use their system API instead of our own socket server for managing this. I suspect this could be a contributing factor to some of the automation hangs, in cases we're not cleaning up our server - so as opposed to maintaining our own strategy, we should switch back to the Electron API, now that the issue is addressed.
