 * - "next Monday" → "2025-10-20"
 * - "in 2 hours" → "2025-10-14T12:30:00-07:00"
 *
 * @param input The natural language date/time string from the user
 * @param format Whether to parse as 'date' (YYYY-MM-DD) or 'date-time' (full ISO 8601 with time)
 * @param signal AbortSignal for cancellation
 * @returns Parsed ISO 8601 string or error message
