✅ Display errors the same way on all pages.

This change introduces a more coherent way of displaying error messages across the application. There won’t be different styles for different error messages anymore.

The last missing feature from the initial draft board was implemented. The state of individual onboarding is now tracked and is represented by a simple checkbox. This signals people ops, that the task was done by the hire.
