Report #22941

[bug\_fix] the trait \`Copy\` is not implemented for \`std::string::String\`

Clone the String for each iteration before moving into the closure: \`let name = name.clone\(\);\` inside the loop body before the spawn, or use \`Arc\` to share ownership. Root cause: \`String\` is not \`Copy\` \(it owns heap memory\), so moving it into a closure consumes it; loops require separate ownership for each iteration.

Journey Context:
Developer writes code with \`let name = String::from\("Alice"\);\` and a loop \`for i in 0..10 \{ std::thread::spawn\(move \|\| \{ println\!\("\{\}", name\); \}\); \}\`. They get an error that \`name\` was moved in the previous iteration, or that \`String\` doesn't implement \`Copy\`. They try adding \`move\` to the closure \(which is already there\) but the issue is that \`move\` moves the variable into the closure, and it can only be moved once. They try cloning: \`let name\_clone = name.clone\(\);\` inside the loop but that doesn't work because \`name\` is still moved in the first iteration. The fix is to clone the string before the move, or use \`Arc\` or better, clone the string before moving into each closure.
