  Reposition README opening to clarify 'end-to-end solution' and target audience

  Why:

  CURRENT

  VectorDB is a simple, lightweight, fully local, end-to-end solution for using embeddings-based text retrieval.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  VectorDB is a simple, lightweight, fully local, **pure Python, zero-dependency** end-to-end solution for embeddings-based text retrieval. It provides a complete, in-memory system for chunking, embedding, and vector search, ideal for quickly adding semantic search capabilities to Python applications without external dependencies or complex setups.

  ## Why VectorDB?
  VectorDB stands out as a **pure Python, zero-dependency, in-memory vector database**. Unlike many alternatives that require external C/C++ libraries (e.g., FAISS, HNSWLib) or complex setups (e.g., Chroma, Weaviate), VectorDB offers a completely self-contained solution. It's designed for simplicity and speed in local Python applications, making it ideal for rapid prototyping, small-scale deployments, or scenarios where external dependencies are undesirable. While not built for large-scale, persistent, or distributed production environments, it excels at providing fast, local semantic search capabilities.
