Add configuration options for retry

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

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

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

Start by locating the route handling and existing retry or error-handling entry points in the repository. Review how configuration is currently represented and how route failures are reported. Done should mean the requested retry options are defined, honored consistently, and accompanied by more descriptive errors, with tests or a reproducible verification path.
