Report #52

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

Add the required trait bound to the generic parameter. Change the function signature to \`fn print\(x: T\)\` or use a where-clause \`fn print\(x: T\) where T: std::fmt::Display\`. Then the compiler can select the correct \`println\!\` implementation.

Journey Context:
An agent wrote a generic helper to print any value passed in. The call site compiled for integers but failed when called with a custom struct, giving E0277. The agent first tried adding \`\#\[derive\(Debug\)\]\` and using \`\{:?\}\`, but the helper itself used \`\{\}\`. The root cause was that the generic type \`T\` carried no constraint, so the compiler could not prove it implemented \`Display\`. Adding the explicit \`T: std::fmt::Display\` bound told the compiler to only accept types that can be formatted with \`\{\}\`, and the error moved to the call site where the custom struct was missing \`Display\`, which the agent then implemented.
