Description
The background state is _flattened_ before being passed to the UI, so that each controller's state is accesisble directly rather than through a key for that controller (e.g. `state.OnboardingController.seedPhraseBackedUp` becomes `state.seedPhraseBackedUp`). This makes it difficult to trace where each piece of state comes from. This is especially difficult given that some state comes from outside of this repo (e.g. `GABA`, `rpc-cap`).
If we pass the background state to the UI without flattening it, it'll be easier to trace where each piece comes from.
