Return custom HTTP status code from registered route

Dash Python

My app is required to respond with a HTTP status code either in the 200 range or the 500 range depending on its status, when probed on endpoints like /liveness and /startup. I can register view functions to respond on these endpoints, but how do I return a 500 status code without having an ugly exception logged to my console?

@app.server.route("/liveness")
def liveness():
    if all_good():
        return "OK"
    else:
        raise HTTPException(500, detail="I'm dead")
