Cast Errors when document in db is an array when it should be an object, etc.

This issue has no description.

The issue body contains no reproduction steps, files, tests, or entry points, and only reports cast errors when a database document has an unexpected array or object shape. Start by locating Mongoose's document casting path and create a minimal reproduction; done requires a confirmed failure case and a regression test showing the expected cast behavior.
