When autorun on startup is disabled, running a cell should only run its uninstantiated ancestors, and in particular it shouldn't run the uninstantiated descendants of uninstantiated ancestors.
This lets the notebook author incrementally run parts of their notebook on startup, even those that include UI elements, without making the entire notebook lazy.
Previously, running a cell would collect uninstantiated ancestors but also uninstantiated descendants, which would often be the entire notebook since uninstantiated ancestors often include imports.
This fix was implemented by keeping track of which execution requests are uninstantiated. This data structure is pruned as cells are run or deleted.
