[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`MyStruct: Hash\` is not satisfied

Add \`\#\[derive\(Hash, PartialEq, Eq\)\]\` to the struct definition. For HashMap keys, \`PartialEq\` and \`Eq\` are also required alongside \`Hash\`.

Journey Context:
Developer is building a caching layer. They define \`struct CacheKey \{ user\_id: u64, resource: String \}\` and attempt to use it as a key in a \`HashMap\`: \`let mut map: HashMap> = HashMap::new\(\);\`. The compiler errors with \`the trait bound 'CacheKey: std::hash::Hash' is not satisfied\`. The developer is confused because both \`u64\` and \`String\` implement \`Hash\`, expecting the aggregate struct to automatically implement it. They try manually implementing \`Hash\` by writing \`impl Hash for CacheKey \{ fn hash\(&self, state: &mut H\) \{ self.user\_id.hash\(state\); self.resource.hash\(state\); \} \}\`, which compiles but is verbose. Later, when trying to use \`map.get\(&key\)\`, they get another error requiring \`PartialEq\` and \`Eq\`. They search "rust hashmap custom key" and discover the \`\#\[derive\]\` macro. They add \`\#\[derive\(Hash, PartialEq, Eq\)\]\` above their struct, which automatically generates the necessary trait implementations based on the struct's fields. This satisfies the trait bounds for \`HashMap\` keys, allowing the code to compile and run correctly.
