Report #88853

[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`T: Trait\` is not satisfied

Add the required trait bound to the generic type parameter, e.g., \`fn foo\(t: T\)\` or using a where clause \`where T: Display\`.

Journey Context:
A developer is writing a generic logging utility \`fn log\_debug\(item: T\)\` that internally calls \`println\!\("\{:?\}", item\)\`. They assume the compiler will automatically require \`T\` to implement \`Debug\`. Instead, they get the trait bound error pointing to the \`println\!\` macro expansion. The developer tries to cast \`item\` to \`&dyn Debug\`, but that doesn't work for unsized types directly. They search the error and land on the Rust Book's chapter on Trait Bounds. They modify the signature to \`fn log\_debug\(item: T\)\`. The code compiles. Later, they try to use this function with a custom struct that doesn't derive Debug, and get the same error at the call site, reinforcing that the bound acts as a contract checked at compile time for each monomorphized instance.
