Diameter of Binary Tree
Diameter of Binary Tree teaches the post-order trick that powers half of all tree problems: each node returns its height while a side variable tracks the best answer seen. The path that matters rarely runs through the root, so a top-down count fails. Once the height-plus-side-effect pattern clicks, max-path-sum feels familiar.
