Research direction
Examine the `nannou new` source code to understand how it currently creates new projects. Look for where it generates the `Cargo.toml` and adds the crate. Consider adding a check for an existing workspace in the root `Cargo.toml` and updating the workspace members list accordingly. Review any comments in the issue or linked discussions for additional context. No PRs are linked, so the implementation path is open.
