Description
Background
Currently, when an error message needs to be conveyed to the user due to an Auth0 rule, that message is sent in a jwt to the sso dashboard to be rendered.
Problem
The navigation flow of sending a user from NLX to the sso dashboard and having to use the back button to get back to the RP isn't ideal. This is currently tracked in SSO dashboard mozilla-iam/sso-dashboard#205 and mozilla/parsys#253 as "improve error page wayfinding"
It's confusing to the user to go to an RP, try to login and then be sent to a site that they weren't on before (sso dashboard) and potentially haven't gone to before to see an error message about another site (their RP or the NLX)
Solution
Instead of sending the error to SSO dashboard, send it to NLX. NLX will define a parameter and standard in mozilla-iam/auth0-custom-lock#99 through which to convey the error.

Research direction
Start with rules/Global-Function-Declarations.js, especially the code linked for sending errors to the SSO dashboard, and rules/force-users-login-most-secure-method.js where an error is generated. Review mozilla-iam/auth0-custom-lock#99 for the NLX parameter and standard. Done means Auth0 rule errors are conveyed to NLX rather than sent to the SSO dashboard.
