Report #58323

[bug\_fix] use of moved value: \`x\` or \`value used here after move\`

If the type implements \`Clone\`, call \`.clone\(\)\` on the value before moving it, or restructure the code to use references \(\`&x\`\) instead of moving. For primitive types or simple structs, implement \`Copy\` \(which requires \`Clone\`\) to enable implicit bitwise copying instead of moving.

Journey Context:
Developer writes \`let s = String::from\("hello"\); let s2 = s; println\!\("\{\}", s\);\` and the compiler errors that \`s\` was moved to \`s2\`. Developer initially confused coming from garbage-collected languages, tries to fix by using \`&s\` but struggles with lifetimes. Eventually learns that \`String\` doesn't implement \`Copy\` because it owns heap memory, so they must either \`.clone\(\)\` \(expensive copy\) or restructure to pass references. In a different case with a custom struct containing only \`i32\` and \`f64\`, they realize they can \`\#\[derive\(Copy, Clone\)\]\` to make the type implicitly copyable and avoid the move error entirely.
