The Lisp lacks built-in list/math ergonomics — every brain redefines list-min, list-max, sum-loans, scan-book, trim, count-face. Build these in:

sum, min, max, average, sort, sort-by
map, filter, reduce, find, count-if, any?, all?
take, drop, zip, group-by, unique
clamp, lerp, pow, exp, log, round
hash tables, sets, vectors, queues

Then the per-file (defun list-max (xs) ...) boilerplate disappears, along with most of the recursive walking. Acceptance: the builtins exist, are tested, and every shipped brain's local redefinitions are removed in favor of them.
