/**
 * Parses a simplified YAML-like input from a single string.
 * Supports objects, arrays, primitive types (string, number, boolean, null).
 * Tracks positions for error reporting and node locations.
 *
 * Limitations:
 * - No anchors or references
 * - No complex types (dates, binary)
 * - No single pair implicit entries
 *
 * @param input A string containing the YAML-like input
 * @param errors Array to collect parsing errors
 * @returns The parsed representation (YamlMapNode, YamlSequenceNode, or YamlScalarNode)
