Support retry configuration

**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.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the component error-handling path and any existing retry configuration, then clarify the retry behavior and error messages required; done should include the agreed retry support and more descriptive errors.
