[bug\_fix] value moved here, in previous iteration of loop \(E0382\)

Clone the value with .clone\(\), use & references if ownership isn't needed, or restructure to take ownership outside the loop. Root cause: Types like String don't implement Copy, so each loop iteration moves \(transfers\) ownership, invalidating the variable for subsequent iterations.

Journey Context:
Developer writes a for loop reading lines from stdin, collecting them into a Vec. Inside the loop, they push the line String into the vec, then try to print the line again for debugging. The compiler hits them with E0382: 'value moved here, in previous iteration of loop'. They stare at the error, confused because the code looks sequential. They try to use the line after the push and get another move error. After reading the error explanation, they realize String has no Copy trait. They consider making it a &str, but the line comes from a BufReader which owns the buffer. They decide to clone the String for the debug print, or better yet, restructure to do the logging before the push. This teaches them that Rust's ownership moves through loops, forcing explicit cloning or architectural changes.
