Hi team , I am following this doc: https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/java/utilities/custom_resources/#customising-a-response , to customise custom resource response.

I want my CloudFormation stack to show why the custom resource failed. For that we can send 'Reason' in the CloudFormation response : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/crpg-ref-responses.html

How to send this 'Reason' using lambda powertool custom resource implementation ?
