Report #88460

[bug\_fix] use of moved value: \`name\` \[E0382\]: value moved into closure here, in previous iteration of loop

Clone the value before moving it into the closure: \`let name\_for\_task = name.clone\(\); tokio::spawn\(async move \{ /\* use name\_for\_task \*/ \}\);\`. If the value is large and cloning is expensive, wrap it in an \`Arc\` \(or \`Arc<\[u8\]>\`\) and clone the Arc \(which just increments a counter\) instead of the data itself. If the spawned task does not need to outlive the loop iteration and you are using Tokio, consider using \`tokio::task::block\_in\_place\` or restructuring to avoid the spawn.

Journey Context:
You are building a connection acceptor loop in a TCP server using Tokio. For each incoming connection, you want to spawn a new task to handle it concurrently. Inside the loop, you generate a context object or a name string: \`let ctx = format\!\("conn-\{\}", addr\);\`. You then write \`tokio::spawn\(async move \{ handle\(socket, ctx\).await \}\);\`. Later in the loop, you try to log \`ctx\` or use it again for metrics: \`info\!\("Spawned \{\}", ctx\);\`. The compiler stops with E0382, saying \`ctx\` was moved into the closure in the previous iteration. You think 'but it's a new variable each iteration'. You realize that \`async move\` takes ownership of \`ctx\` to ensure it lives for the duration of the async task, which might outlive the loop iteration. You try to fix it by removing \`move\`, but then the compiler says the async block might outlive \`ctx\` which is dropped at the end of the iteration. You realize you need to give the spawned task its own copy of the data. You add \`let ctx = ctx.clone\(\);\` before the spawn \(shadowing\), or use \`ctx.clone\(\)\` inside the spawn arguments. The code compiles and runs. You understand that \`move\` closures transfer ownership, and for concurrent tasks, each needs its own data or a shared reference \(Arc\).
