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

The root cause is that Rust moves non-Copy types by default; when you pass a String, Vec, or custom struct to a function or bind it to a new variable, the original binding loses ownership. The fix is to explicitly call \`.clone\(\)\` when you need a deep copy of heap data, restructure to pass references \`&T\` instead of owned values, or implement \`Copy\` \(only for stack-only types\).

Journey Context:
You just wrote a function that takes a String, and you try to use the variable twice. The first call works, but the second fails with 'value used here after move'. You stare at it, confused, because in GC'd languages you'd just be passing a reference. You try \`&s\`, but that changes the type to \`&String\` and your function expects \`String\`. You realize String doesn't implement \`Copy\` because it owns heap memory. You try to return the String from the function and reassign it, but that complicates the API. Finally, you understand that \`.clone\(\)\` is the explicit way to say 'I want a copy of the heap data here,' or you refactor the function to take \`&str\` instead of \`String\` to avoid ownership transfer entirely.
