Problem
Help message displayed by pixi when pixi.toml is missing [project] or pyproject.toml is missing a pixi block is misleading as users in issue #3202 mentioned
Solution
Add a new TomlError to improve error message in this aspect.
pixi.toml
pyproject.toml
No explicit manifest-path
It will use the well-formed

pixi.tomlmanifest file from parent directory and, therefore, no display error messageExplicit manifest-path
