Do we have any asserts for null parents that this will hit

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/mac/AXObjectCacheMac.mm:450
> +static void createIsolatedObjectForNotificationIfNeeded(AXCoreObject& object, std::optional<PageIdentifier> pageID)

ForNorification in the name seems unnecessary

We should check ignored status before doing the work of fetching the tree

No, I don't think so. The unconnected isolated object that is created will consider its parent to be the nearest-in-isolated-tree object (which is guaranteed by way of using parentObjectUnignored):

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/bb5e3d4d63fbf63b8f79347e70a5b09cdd525ca1/Source/WebCore/accessibility/isolatedtree/AXIsolatedObject.cpp#L48

So it will return the right parent when queried. That parent will not include this unconnected isolated object in its children, but I think that's fine and expected in this scenario.

Fixed your other two comments.
