Report #85613

[bug\_fix] trait bound \`MyStruct: std::cmp::Eq\` is not satisfied \(HashMap key requirements\)

Add \`\#\[derive\(PartialEq, Eq, Hash\)\]\` to the struct definition. Ensure all fields of the struct also implement these traits.

Journey Context:
Developer defines a custom struct \`struct User \{ id: u64, name: String \}\` and attempts to use it as a key in a \`HashMap\`. The code \`let mut map = HashMap::new\(\); map.insert\(user, account\);\` fails to compile with errors stating that the trait bound \`User: std::cmp::Eq\` is not satisfied and similarly for \`Hash\`. The developer initially tries adding only \`\#\[derive\(PartialEq\)\]\`, which satisfies the equality check but fails because \`HashMap\` keys require \`Eq\` \(reflexive equality\) and \`Hash\`. After reviewing the standard library documentation for \`HashMap\`, the developer realizes that \`Eq\` requires \`PartialEq\` to be implemented, and \`Hash\` must also be derived or implemented. Adding \`\#\[derive\(PartialEq, Eq, Hash\)\]\` to \`User\` resolves all trait bounds, allowing the struct to be used as a hash key.
