Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the current client-bundle build entry point and the dependency declarations for gulp and babel; replace that build path with a simple Node.js script using browserify. Done means the client bundle builds without gulp or babel and their dependencies can be removed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

These dependencies do very little (only to allow us to specify the order of tasks to build the client bundle). They introduce a large amount of sub-dependencies and they are a constant headache as they constantly raise vulnerability warnings over time.

It would be good to be able to build the client using only a simple Node.js script and browserify. No need for these clunky libraries which do almost nothing.
