docs(README): simplify explanation of Vectorless approach
- Remove redundant bullet points about hybrid algorithm + LLM approach - Streamline description to focus on core concept of using LLM to navigate document tree structure - Update navigation step to remove unnecessary parenthetical explanation - Remove backtracking mention from verification step for clarity

**Vectorless** is a library for querying structured documents using natural language — without vector databases or embedding models. Core engine written in Rust, with Python bindings.

Instead of chunking documents into vectors, Vectorless preserves the document's tree structure and uses a **hybrid algorithm + LLM approach** to navigate it — like how a human reads a table of contents:
