Report #14294

[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`MyStruct: serde::Serialize\` is not satisfied

Add \`\#\[derive\(Serialize\)\]\` \(or \`Deserialize\`\) above the struct definition, and ensure the \`serde\` dependency in \`Cargo.toml\` has the \`derive\` feature enabled: \`serde = \{ version = "1.0", features = \["derive"\] \}\`. Root cause: Serde uses proc-macro derives to generate implementations of its traits; without the derive macro and the trait implementation, the compiler cannot prove the type implements \`Serialize\`.

Journey Context:
Developer attempts to serialize a custom struct using \`serde\_json::to\_string\(&my\_struct\)\`. The compiler emits a trait bound error. The developer checks that \`use serde::Serialize;\` is present, but the error persists. They realize they forgot the \`\#\[derive\(Serialize\)\]\` attribute. After adding it, the compiler reports that it cannot find the derive macro. The developer checks \`Cargo.toml\` and realizes the \`serde\` entry lacks the required \`features = \["derive"\]\` flag. After adding the feature, the code compiles.
