Hello,

The tests as written should be passing; my own renderer passes all tests, through the end of the book. Admittedly, there could very well be an error in my own code that permits this, but other readers have also had these tests pass after the shadow chapter.

Is your code hosted anywhere that I can see it? I’d be happy to take a look.
