Add configuration options for retry

**Problem**
When working with components, 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 component error-handling and retry configuration paths, then determine which retry options and more descriptive errors are required; done means the requested options work and debugging messages are clearer.
