The primary distinction is hierarchical/nonhierarchical requests.
Siblings is only queried on hierarchical requests.

non-hierarchical:
  - reload requests
  - cache validations if you have non-Squid ICP peers
  - non-GET/HEAD/TRACE requests
  - authenticated requests
  - matching hierarchy_stoplist

Depends on which access directive you look at. Generally speaking
http_access is before url rewrites, the rest after.
