/**
 * This method adds listeners to the given router and store and syncs their state with eachother
 *
 * ### Why?
 *
 * Previously the IDE had a circular dependency between a singleton router and a singleton store.
 * This causes some integration testing headaches...
 *
 * At the time, the most effecient way to break this ciruclar dependency was to:
 *
 * - Replace the router with a factory function that receives a store reference
 * - Have the store write to a certain state that can be watched by the router
 *
 * Hence... This helper function...
