Thanks.

I’m still confused how to convert “str” to “String”

This should be easy, I do the following in my SRC20 implementation:
First I have the str[]:

configurable {
    /// The name of a specific asset minted by this contract.
    name: str[5] = __to_str_array("Token"),
}

and then I do:

    fn name(asset: AssetId) -> Option<String> {
        if asset == AssetId::default() {
            Some(String::from_ascii_str(from_str_array(name)))
        } else {
            None
        }
    }
