Report #8722

[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`Rc>: Send\` is not satisfied

Replace \`Rc>\` with \`Arc>\` \(or \`Arc>\` for read-heavy workloads\). If the data does not need to be shared across thread boundaries, use \`tokio::task::LocalSet\` to spawn non-Send futures on the current thread instead of \`tokio::spawn\`.

Journey Context:
Developer is building an async web server using Axum or Actix-web. They store shared application state in \`Rc>\` because they are familiar with single-threaded reference counting from other languages. They attempt to spawn a background task using \`tokio::spawn\` to process a long-running job. The compiler emits a cryptic error: \`the trait bound 'Rc>: Send' is not satisfied in the type 'impl Future'\`. Developer learns that \`tokio::spawn\` requires the future to be \`Send\` because Tokio's multi-threaded work-stealing scheduler may move tasks between OS threads. Since \`Rc\` is not \`Send\` \(it uses non-atomic ref counts\), the future cannot be sent across threads. Developer refactors to use \`Arc>\`, which is \`Send\` when \`T\` is \`Send\`, satisfying the trait bounds. The code now compiles and runs safely across threads.

environment: Tokio multi-threaded runtime \(default\), typically on Linux/macOS/Windows when using \`tokio::spawn\` with shared state. · tags: async tokio trait-bound send rc arc · source: swarm · provenance: https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/task/fn.spawn.html
