Description
given the project structure:
```
folderA
folderB
```
where `folderA` is already a python project with `envManagerA` and `pkgManagerA` if a user adds `folderB` as a project with `envManagerA` and `pkgManagerA`, do NOT save it to settings.json. This is because `folderB` is nested inside `folderA` and has the same env and pkg manager, therefore `folderB` inherits the correct settings from `folderA`'s configuration by default.
