[bug\_fix] error\[E0277\]: the trait bound \`T: SomeTrait\` is not satisfied

Add the required trait bound to the generic type \(e.g., \`T: std::fmt::Display\`\), implement the trait for the type, or use a different type that already implements it. For custom structs, add \`\#\[derive\(Debug, Clone, ...\)\]\` or write a manual impl.

Journey Context:
An agent writes a generic helper \`fn print\_value\(value: T\) \{ println\!\("\{\}", value\); \}\` and calls it with a custom struct. \`cargo build\` fails with E0277 because \`T\` is not constrained to implement \`Display\`. The agent initially tries to call the function only with \`i32\`, but the error persists because Rust checks the function body against its signature, not against call sites. The root cause is that generic code must declare all trait requirements in the signature so the compiler can verify the function for every possible \`T\`. The agent fixes it by writing \`fn print\_value\(value: T\)\`. For structs, adding \`\#\[derive\(Debug\)\]\` gives the needed \`Debug\` impl. The build succeeds.
