Description

The MongoEngine documentation states that updating with an aggregation pipeline is supported in the update() method. Currently, this functionality is available in both update() and update_one() methods.

However, the modify() method does not yet support updates using an aggregation pipeline. I will be raising a PR to add support for it.

Research direction

Start with the modify() method and compare its update handling with update() and update_one(), using the linked MongoEngine aggregation-pipeline documentation as the behavior reference. Done means modify() supports aggregation-pipeline updates consistently with those methods and the behavior is verified.
