I am trying to extend the auth/register method so i can add a custom uuid that is generated upon registering the new user account. I have added the below method but i dont know what return in the method. It will currently give me a 404 error when registering a new user.

./extensions/users-permissions/strapi-server.js

module.exports = (plugin) => {
  plugin.controllers.auth.register = (ctx) => {
    console.log('REGISTERING USER =====================================');

    //...custom code here

   return???? <-------------- what do i return here?
  };

  return plugin;
};
