Sidebar panels not updated when moving/packaging sidebar mod components

[BLoe]

Describe the bug

When working with sidebar mod components in the page editor, there are a number of odd, unintuitive behaviors that happen when moving components into and out of mods, as well as some cases of copying the components.

For example:

Create a new mod component, add it to a mod, and choose to "create a new mod" when adding the component

Copy a freshly created mod component into an existing mod

These problems are most likely caused by race conditions and sub-optimal logic within the communication between the page editor, the content script ("sidebar controller"), and the sidebar app. The complexity of the code architecture, in terms of sidebar panels and the page editor, makes investigating these issues much more difficult and time-consuming, due to the amount of scope required to grok the whole end-to-end data flow in the app(s).
