Report #100599

[bug\_fix] error\[E0382\]: borrow of moved value: \`...\` \| = move occurs because \`...\` has type \`String\`, which does not implement the \`Copy\` trait

Use a shared reference \(\`&s\`\) or mutable reference \(\`&mut s\`\) instead of passing ownership, clone the value if you need an independent copy \(\`s.clone\(\)\`\), or redesign the function to return ownership. For shared ownership across threads use \`Arc\`; for interior mutability combine with \`RefCell\` or \`Mutex\`.

Journey Context:
An agent writes \`let s1 = String::from\("hello"\); let s2 = s1; println\!\("\{\}", s1\);\` and gets E0382. They then hit the same error when passing a \`String\` or \`Vec\` into a helper and trying to use it again. The root cause is Rust's ownership model: for non-\`Copy\` types, assignment and function calls move ownership so there is always exactly one owner, preventing double-free and use-after-free. The agent fixes the first case by borrowing \(\`let s2 = &s1;\`\) or cloning \(\`let s2 = s1.clone\(\);\`\). For helper functions they change the parameter from \`T\` to \`&T\` so the caller retains ownership. The code compiles and the agent understands when to choose borrow vs. clone vs. \`Arc\`.

environment: Any Rust program using \`String\`, \`Vec\`, \`File\`, or custom non-Copy structs; common in new Rust code and agent-generated snippets. · tags: rust ownership e0382 moved-value clone borrow copy · source: swarm · provenance: https://doc.rust-lang.org/error\_codes/E0382.html
