@jgraham I'm starting to wonder if these tests are too brittle. The
expectations encode the "enum" values for test and sub-test state. Would it be
better to express those more generically, then sort things out dynamically when
interpreting results?

For instance:

```diff
  "status": {
-   "status": 0,
-   "OK": 0,
-   "TIMEOUT": 2,
-   "ERROR": 1,
+   "status": "(this.OK)",
    "message": null,
    "stack": null
  },
```
