  This looks really exciting, but I'm not clear on how this works: So what has happened here? Riff has: - read your project’s Cargo.toml, - determined which external dependencies are necessary based on your crate dependency graph, How does Riff go from crate -> external package dependencies? Are those listed in the Cargo.toml somewhere? Does it just make a best-effort attempt to scrape the project and figure out what's referenced? Or does Riff maintain its own internal registry of which dependencies are needed by which popular crates?
