Clarify that Zep is powered by a proprietary graph database (the Context Graph Engine) built for millions of context graphs with low-latency retrieval, so production deployments don't require a third-party graph database. Adds a paragraph to the Zep section and a "Graph database" row to the Zep vs. Graphiti comparison table. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds documentation to the README clarifying that Zep is powered by a proprietary graph database — the Context Graph Engine — built for millions of context graphs with low-latency retrieval, so production Zep deployments don't require a separate third-party graph database. This adds a paragraph to the Zep section and a new "Graph database" row to the Zep vs. Graphiti comparison table.
Type of Change
Objective
Make clear to readers evaluating Zep vs. self-hosted Graphiti that Zep's managed offering does not depend on a third-party graph database vendor, distinguishing it from Graphiti's bring-your-own-database model.
