Report #86953

[bug\_fix] error\[E0277\]: the trait bound \`MyType: std::fmt::Display\` is not satisfied

Implement the trait for your type \(\`impl Display for MyType \{ ... \}\`\), derive it if the type allows \(\`\#\[derive\(Debug\)\]\`\), or use a wrapper/newtype if the orphan rules prevent a direct impl.

Journey Context:
You define a struct and immediately try to print it with \`println\!\("\{\}", value\)\` or use it in a format string. The compiler tells you Display is not implemented. You try \`\{:?\}\` and get the same error for Debug. The root cause is that Rust's formatting machinery is trait-based, not built-in; every type must opt into string representation. The fix works because you are either manually defining how the type formats or deriving the standard Debug implementation, which satisfies the trait bound the macro expands to.
