I Found a Bug in Apple's Fsck_hfs
I would consider HFS+ to be a legacy filesystem at this point, something you shouldn't use without a really good reason (interop with pre-macOS 10.13 machines being the only one I can think of).
Fun fact: HFS dates back to the 80s, and so does the fsck code. https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/hfs/blob/main/lib... still contains '#if BSD' blocks for the Mac OS X code, and classic Mac code in the '#else'.
And 'dfalib' refers to 'Disk First Aid', the classic Mac fsck application.

HFS Origins: The Turbo File System (2017)
I believe most of the open source HFS code was from NeXT rather than Mac OS. A lot of classic Mac OS was still 68k assembly.
eg:
https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/hfs/blob/hfs-106/...
13-Jan-1998 jwc first cut (derived from old NextStep macfs.util code and cdrom.util code).
- Apple's custom NVMes are amazingly fast – if you don't care about data integrity
