Can you explain why the hide body was there in the first place and why it is no longer needed?

@jonsnyder It's the opposite—hideElements("BODY") was not there in the first place.

Earlier in Personalization component when a redirect type of item was returned from the Edge, it was turning Web SDK into a different mode than what it was running for rest of propositions type.

After the refactoring was done, the processing and rendering is happening in an async mode while showContainers is called in a sync mode.
What happens now is that processing/rendering of the propositions happens async and till redirect executes, showContainers which is called sync already kicks in and unhides the body. By hiding Body in case redirect item is executed we can avoid flickering. This is the only quick fix that would fix flickering and not touch current refactoring of the Personalization component.
