How does bcachefs deal with laptops just dying due to lack of power and then fsck and recover on boot?

Works fine. Been using it on my laptop for ~7 years, users say it's solid w.r.t. power failure too.
Awesome, can't wait for this to become linux's best filesystem.
Apparently, just fine. On paper, do a quick check and clean on mount. There are mount options for full check, degraded and recovery modes.
About the paper https://bcachefs.org/bcachefs-principles-of-operation.pdf
I'm not saying you should switch all your critical systems to bcachefs on the day it gets merged as you can never be sure about the absence of bugs (even the relatively simple ext4 had some data-eating bug a few years after introduction), but the path to "recommended filesystem" will be a lot shorter than btrfs.
At this point, I would already feel comfterable running bcachefs on my laptop – the only reason I don't is that I just can't be bothered running a custom kernel for it.
