Description

I would be interested to have an option to disable searching for projects in folders when there's already one project in the parent folder or maybe more helpful provides a configuration file/property that list the projects paths that I want to be in the workspace even if these projects are not in the current open folder.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the extension's project-discovery and configuration handling, then determine how nested projects are selected. Done would require a decided configuration design supporting disabled nested search or explicitly listed project paths, with behavior verified for both cases.
