[bug\_fix] use of moved value: compiler error E0382 when using a value after it has been moved into a function or variable
Implement the \`Clone\` trait via \`\#\[derive\(Clone\)\]\` and call \`.clone\(\)\` on the value before the first move to create an independent copy, or change the function signature to accept \`&T\` instead of \`T\` to borrow the value rather than take ownership.
Journey Context:
A developer is building an Axum web service that extracts a \`String\` header from a request. They write \`let token = headers.remove\("authorization"\).unwrap\(\);\` then attempt to pass \`token\` into a logging macro and immediately after into an authentication function. The compiler halts with 'value used here after move' pointing to the second usage. Confused, the developer tries \`&token\` for the first call, but the log macro expects an owned value. They search the error code E0382 and find the Rust Book explanation. Realizing the \`String\` was moved into the logger \(which took ownership\), they try \`token.clone\(\)\` before the first use. The code compiles because \`Clone\` creates a new heap allocation with independent ownership, satisfying Rust's rule that every value has exactly one owner at any time. The developer then refactors to pass \`&str\` slices instead to avoid allocations entirely.
