Support retry configuration

**Problem**
When working with hooks, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the hook handling and current error paths, then clarify how retry settings should be configured and what detailed errors are required; done means the retry behavior and descriptive error output are covered by tests.
