## Title

    [langgraph-store-mongodb] Store search errors: "Invalid filter key '$...': MongoDB operator keys are not allowed." / "search(limit=N) exceeds the $rerank maximum of 1000"

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Filters are restricted to field keys to prevent operator injection; $rerank caps candidates at 1000.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - exceeds the $rerank maximum of 1000. Reduce limit or disable reranking.
    - rerank_config requires index_config to be set
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langchain-mongodb/d5d6f37d7842bbdc0a9e456ce9c813d4ae6b4c2f/libs/langgraph-store-mongodb/langgraph/store/mongodb/base.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Store filter validation, rerank limit and rerank_config checks.

    Search phrasings: MongoDB operator keys are not allowed langgraph; langgraph mongodb store rerank maximum of 1000
