Report #17901

[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`T: std::fmt::Display\` is not satisfied \(E0277\)

Add the required trait bound to the generic type parameter in the function signature, e.g., \`fn print\(item: T\)\`, or implement the trait for the custom type being used.

Journey Context:
Developer writes a generic function \`fn log\_value\(val: T\)\` and inside calls \`println\!\("\{\}", val\)\`. The compiler errors that \`T\` doesn't implement \`Display\`. Developer tries to use \`\{:?\}\` and gets the same error for \`Debug\`. They realize generics in Rust are monomorphized and require explicit trait bounds to know what operations are available. They add \`T: Display\` to the function signature. If \`T\` is their own struct, they also add \`\#\[derive\(Debug\)\]\` or implement \`Display\` manually.
