Purpose

To update interface.md to reflect the current defacto interface with respect to @thelostlambda's post and discussions on slack/weekly call.

Proposals

I would also propose that a 7th optional key would be added to the per-test object called metadata-error to provide a graceful fallback in the event that some aspect of the metadata generation fails.

Reasons I could envision this failing is:
