- ### 2. **Connection Management** 🔴 CRITICAL
-**Status:** ⚠️ **IMPROVED** - Connection pooling options exposed, but still missing advanced features
+ ### 2. **Connection Management** 🟡 IMPORTANT
+**Status:** ✅ **SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED** - Connection pooling, retry logic, and health checks implemented
 
 **Current Features:**
 - ✅ Connection pooling configuration exposed via `MongoClientOptions`
 - ✅ Users can configure `maxPoolSize`, `minPoolSize`, `maxIdleTimeMS`, etc.
 - ✅ All MongoDB driver connection options available
 - ✅ Leverages MongoDB driver's built-in pooling (no custom implementation)
+- ✅ Automatic retry logic exposed (`retryReads`, `retryWrites`)
+- ✅ Health check functionality with response time monitoring
+- ✅ Comprehensive timeout configurations
+- ✅ Server health check intervals (`heartbeatFrequencyMS`)
 
 **Remaining Issues:**
-- ⚠️ No connection retry logic
-- ⚠️ No health checks
-- ⚠️ No connection event handling
+- ⚠️ No connection event handling (connected, disconnected, error events)
 - ⚠️ Cannot connect to multiple databases (singleton pattern)
 - ⚠️ No connection string validation
-- ⚠️ No automatic reconnection on connection loss
+- ⚠️ No manual reconnection API
 
 **Mongoose Provides:**
 - Automatic reconnection
···
 - Connection options (readPreference, etc.)
 
 **Production Impact:**
-- Application crashes on connection loss (no automatic recovery)
-- No monitoring capabilities
-- Cannot use multiple databases in same application
+- ✅ Automatic retry on transient failures (reads and writes)
+- ✅ Health monitoring via `healthCheck()` function
+- ⚠️ Still cannot use multiple databases in same application
+- ⚠️ No event-driven connection state monitoring
 
 **Usage Example:**
 ```typescript
 await connect("mongodb://localhost:27017", "mydb", {
-  clientOptions: {
-    maxPoolSize: 10,
-    minPoolSize: 2,
-    maxIdleTimeMS: 30000,
-    connectTimeoutMS: 10000,
-  }
+  // Connection pooling
+  maxPoolSize: 10,
+  minPoolSize: 2,
+  
+  // Automatic retry logic
+  retryReads: true,
+  retryWrites: true,
+  
+  // Timeouts
+  connectTimeoutMS: 10000,
+  socketTimeoutMS: 45000,
+  serverSelectionTimeoutMS: 10000,
+  
+  // Resilience
+  maxIdleTimeMS: 30000,
+  heartbeatFrequencyMS: 10000,
 });
+
+// Health check
+const health = await healthCheck();
+if (!health.healthy) {
+  console.error(`Database unhealthy: ${health.error}`);
+}
 ```

- ### 6. **Error Handling** 🟡 IMPORTANT
- **Status:** Basic error handling
- 
- **Issues:**
- - Generic Error types
- - No custom error classes
- - Poor error messages
- - No error recovery strategies
- - Validation errors not structured
- 
- **Mongoose Provides:**
- - `ValidationError`
- - `CastError`
- - `MongoError`
- - Detailed error paths
- - Error recovery utilities
+### 6. **Error Handling** 🟢 GOOD
+**Status:** ✅ **SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED** - Custom error classes with structured information
+
+**Current Features:**
+- ✅ Custom error class hierarchy (all extend `NozzleError`)
+- ✅ `ValidationError` with structured Zod issues
+- ✅ `ConnectionError` with URI context
+- ✅ `ConfigurationError` for invalid options
+- ✅ `DocumentNotFoundError` for missing documents
+- ✅ `OperationError` for database operation failures
+- ✅ `AsyncValidationError` for unsupported async validation
+- ✅ Field-specific error grouping via `getFieldErrors()`
+- ✅ Operation context (insert/update/replace) in validation errors
+- ✅ Proper error messages with context
+- ✅ Stack trace preservation
+
+**Remaining Gaps:**
+- ⚠️ No CastError equivalent (MongoDB driver handles this)
+- ⚠️ No custom MongoError wrapper (uses native MongoDB errors)
+- ⚠️ No error recovery utilities/strategies
+
+**Mongoose Comparison:**
+- ✅ ValidationError - Similar to Mongoose
+- ✅ Structured error details - Better than Mongoose (uses Zod issues)
+- ❌ CastError - Not implemented (less relevant with Zod)
+- ⚠️ MongoError - Uses native driver errors

- ### 12. **Production Features** 🔴 CRITICAL
- **Missing:**

- - Graceful shutdown
- - Health check endpoints
- - Monitoring hooks
- - Performance metrics
- - Query logging
- - Slow query detection
+### 12. **Production Features** 🟡 IMPORTANT
+**Implemented:**

- ## 🔍 Code Quality Issues
- 
- ### 1. **Error Messages**
- ```typescript
- // Current: Generic error
- throw new Error(`Validation failed: ${JSON.stringify(result.issues)}`);
- 
- // Should be: Structured error with details
- throw new ValidationError(result.issues, schema);
- ```
- 
- ### 2. **Type Safety Gaps**
+## 🔍 Code Quality Issues
+
+### 1. **Error Messages**
+✅ **RESOLVED** - Now uses custom error classes:
+```typescript
+// Current implementation
+throw new ValidationError(result.error.issues, "insert");
+
+// Provides structured error with:
+// - Operation context (insert/update/replace)
+// - Zod issues array
+// - Field-specific error grouping via getFieldErrors()
+```
+
+### 2. **Type Safety Gaps**
  ```typescript
  // This cast is unsafe
  validatedData as OptionalUnlessRequiredId<Infer<T>>
···
  - No query sanitization
  - Direct MongoDB query passthrough
  
- ### 4. **Connection State Management**
- ```typescript
- // No way to check if connected
- // No way to reconnect
- // No connection state events
- ```
+### 4. **Connection State Management**
+✅ **PARTIALLY RESOLVED**
+```typescript
+// Now have health check
+const health = await healthCheck();
+if (!health.healthy) {
+  // Handle unhealthy connection
+}
+
+// Still missing:
+// - Connection state events
+// - Manual reconnection API
+```
