fix: report errors thrown after the frame is ready

Certain challenges involve code that is not run until the user
interacts with the preview (typically via a click listener). This uses
consoleProxy to report those errors.

Error logging has been simplified, reducing the number of places errors
can be reported from.

Some of the redux-saga code has been renamed in an attempt to improve
clarity.
