[bug\_fix] error\[E0499\]: cannot borrow \`...\` as mutable more than once at a time

Shorten the scope of the first mutable borrow so it ends before the second one starts, split borrows across distinct fields, or refactor to return an owned value instead of holding a borrow. The borrow checker enforces that any one piece of data has either one mutable reference or any number of immutable references at a time, so overlapping mutable borrows are rejected.

Journey Context:
An agent is caching intermediate results in a Vec and tries to push while iterating mutably. The compiler points to the second \`&mut\` and notes the first still lives. The agent first tries cloning the whole Vec, then realizes the real issue is overlap. By scoping the first borrow in a block or collecting the new items into a separate Vec before pushing, the borrow lifetimes no longer overlap and the code compiles.
