[bug\_fix] borrowed value does not live long enough / temporary value dropped while borrowed

Bind the temporary to a named \`let\` binding to extend its lifetime to the end of the scope, or change the type to owned \(e.g., \`String\` instead of \`&str\`\).

Journey Context:
Developer writes code like \`let s = format\!\("hello \{\}", name\).as\_str\(\);\` or tries to pass \`&format\!\("..."\)\` to a function expecting \`&str\`. The compiler errors with "borrowed value does not live long enough" or "temporary value dropped while borrowed", noting that the temporary value is dropped at the end of the statement. Developer tries to use \`static\` lifetime or unsafe code to extend it. They eventually understand Rust's temporary lifetime rules: values created in an expression are dropped at the end of the current statement \(or end of block for \`let\`\). By assigning to a \`let\` binding like \`let temp = format\!\("..."\); let s = temp.as\_str\(\);\`, the temporary lives until the end of the block, not the statement. The fix works because \`let\` bindings extend value lifetimes to the end of the enclosing scope, allowing references to remain valid longer.
