Description

Ideally the Microsoft.ReactNative.dll instance management code is a relatively thin wrapper on top of ReactNative code. Currently we have multiple layers due to the historical development of the ReactNative for Windows.
The scope of this task is to reduce the number of layers and size of code that stands between the Microsoft.ReactNative.dll API and the ReactNative underlying implementation.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Microsoft.ReactNative.dll API to the underlying ReactNative implementation and inventory the intervening instance-management layers. Define which layers and code can be removed while preserving the API behavior; the issue names no files or tests, so substantial repository exploration and design work are required.
