[bug\_fix] borrow of moved value: \`x\`

Clone the value before passing \(\`s.clone\(\)\`\), pass by reference \(\`&s\`\), or restructure to return ownership back. Root cause: Rust has move semantics by default for non-Copy types; when \`s\` is passed to a function, ownership moves to the callee, invalidating the original binding to prevent use-after-free.

Journey Context:
You create a \`String\`, pass it to a function \`process\(s\)\`, then try to print \`s\`. The compiler errors with \`borrow of moved value\`. You think about copying but aren't sure of the syntax. You try \`&s\` in the function call and change the parameter to \`&String\`. It works. You realize that without the \`&\`, the String's heap memory was transferred into the function, and the original \`s\` became a dangling pointer \(logically\). The borrow checker prevented a use-after-free. The fix works because cloning duplicates the heap data, or borrowing lets the callee temporarily view the data without taking ownership.

environment: Using non-Copy types like \`String\`, \`Vec\`, \`HashMap\`, or custom structs. Passing a value to a function by value, then trying to use the original variable again. · tags: ownership move-semantics e0382 borrow-checker clone · source: swarm · provenance: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-01-what-is-ownership.html\#ownership-and-functions
