MongoDB Error 10: Cannot Mutate Object
Description

Known Causes
3 known causesModifying an Immutable View or Snapshot
Occurs when an operation attempts to alter data within a MongoDB view or a document belonging to a snapshot, which are inherently read-only structures.
Attempting to Change a Frozen Object
This error can arise if a BSON document or object has been internally marked as immutable or 'frozen' by MongoDB or the driver, preventing direct modifications.
Incorrect Driver or API Usage
The application code or MongoDB driver might be using an API method that implies mutation on an object that is not designed to be directly modifiable in its current state.
