Description
Enabling runAsNode in Electron fuse allows the Storage Explorer application to be run as a Node application that takes arguments, which are subject to attacks. Currently we need runAsNode to be enabled because we are using Node APIs that would otherwise not work. We should avoid using Node dependent features and disable runAsNode in Electron fuse as soon as we no longer depend on it.

Research direction
Start by locating the Electron fuse configuration and the Node API usages that require runAsNode. Determine whether those dependencies can be removed, then verify that the application still works without the fuse enabled and that relevant attack paths are no longer available.
