send reason along with backend request

[AD]

you should be able to add a req.http.header in your vcl_fetch.  I dont
believe vcl_fetch gets called unless you are in a cache_miss and you need
to contact the backend.

sub vcl_fetch {

 req.http.X-Custom-Header = "test";
}

Not sure varnish exposes the miss "reason" though, aside from the fact that
it is either not cacheable or it is and just isn't in the cache.
