[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`T: Display\` is not satisfied or the trait bound \`T: Send\` is not satisfied

Add the trait bound to the generic parameter: \`fn foo\(x: T\)\` or \`fn foo\(x: T\) where T: Display \+ Send\`.

Journey Context:
Developer writes a generic function \`fn print\_item\(item: T\)\` that calls \`item.to\_string\(\)\` inside. When they try to call it, they get a trait bound error saying \`T\` doesn't implement \`Display\`. The error appears at the call site in older Rust versions, or at the method call in newer ones. Developer tries calling with a custom struct and gets a similar error. They realize generics require explicit trait bounds to use methods from those traits. The fix works because it constrains \`T\` to types that implement \`Display\`, allowing the compiler to resolve the \`to\_string\` method call and ensuring only valid types are accepted.
