+- **`matrix_solve(A, b)`** (`src/builtins/function_builtins.cpp`, feature name `matrix-solve`) —
+  one pivoted LU answering three questions from the same factorisation: `.x` (solution; a vector
+  for a vector `b`, a matrix for a matrix `b`, `undef` when `b` is omitted), `.det`, `.singular`.
+  Square systems only — BOSL2's `linear_solve` also does least-squares/minimum-norm via QR, which
+  LU cannot, and those paths are already fast in script. A non-square or non-numeric matrix warns
+  and returns `undef`; a **singular** one is reported (`singular=true`, `det=0`, `x=undef`), not
+  warned about, because asking whether a matrix is singular is a fair question.
+  Why it exists: BOSL2's `determinant()` is a cofactor expansion, O(n!) in time *and* in
+  intermediate list allocation. Measured through the CLI on identical matrices, with identical
+  results: **n=10 3.17s → 0.33s, n=11 31.49s → 0.33s**. Its `linear_solve` is not the problem
+  (128×128 in ~0.18s since its Apr 2026 Householder rewrite) — but its singularity test is a fixed
+  **absolute** `1e-9` on R's diagonal with no scaling by ‖A‖, so `2*I` scaled by 1e-10 is declared
+  singular there and solves correctly here. This one uses a relative threshold.

   dynamic value type) and its free-function arithmetic/comparison helpers. See the plan's §1 for
   the type-mapping table and why there's no numpy-equivalent library.

+// One pivoted LU answers three questions at once -- the solution, the
+// determinant, and whether A is singular -- because all three fall out of
+// the same factorisation.
+//
+// The motivation is BOSL2's determinant() (linalg.scad), a cofactor
+// expansion: O(n!) time AND O(n!) intermediate list allocation. Measured
+// through this evaluator: 0.04s at n=8, 0.38s at n=9, 2.7s at n=10, and
+// projecting to minutes at n=12. This is O(n^3). BOSL2's linear_solve, by
+// contrast, was already fast (128x128 in ~0.18s after its Apr 2026
+// Householder rewrite), so speed is not the argument for the solve half --
+// a correct singularity test is. See below.
+//
+// Square systems only. BOSL2's linear_solve also handles overdetermined
+// (least-squares) and underdetermined (minimum-norm) systems via QR; LU
+// cannot, and those paths are quick enough in script. A non-square matrix
+// warns rather than silently doing something else.
