How it is possible to replace Cypress error message with a custom message

I am trying to parse a big file and assert that a string is not included in the file using cypress. I want to replace the assertion message to keep my log clean. I have tried this: I wraped the content as follow:

cy.task('parsePdf', filePath)
  .its('text')
  .then(($txt) => {
    cy.wrap($txt).as('content');
  });

Then I have tried to assert this using Chai expect and insert a custom message in two ways which both result the same:

First:

cy.get('@content').should(($txt) => {
  expect($txt).to.not.include(
    'text that should not be in the content',
    'Custom error message'
  );
});

Second:

cy.get('@content').should(($txt) => {
  expect($txt, 'Custom error message').to.not.include(
    'text that should not be in the content');
});

Result:

Custom error message expected Full report content to not include text that should not be in the content.

What I looking for is only logging Custom error message in a failure.

Expected:

Custom error message

chai cypress

Perhaps like this:

cy.get('@content').should(($txt) => {
  const flag = $txt.includes('text that should be in the content');
  assert.isTrue(flag, 'Custom message');
});
