Five pillars, four colored point lights; closest-hit emits one shadow ray
per light from the same invocation (raysPerPixel = 4, maxDepth = 2), so up
to four rays per pixel rtAccumulate in a single SHADE pass — the contention
case #30 exists for. Each pillar casts four separable colored shadows; an
accumulator race or capacity drop shows as flickering dark noise or a
missing shadow color. Two frames a second apart diff at 2 px / 1.85 M
(last-ulp CAS ordering), confirming no lost updates.
