I have an application that is inserting a fact object into a session. The

to fire and the children objects are updated in some situations. Is there
any way to determine if all the rules have fired due to the children

"All the rules" for each child? "All the rules" for the children summarily?

But the answer is: "Yes, if you keep track of rule firings."
a) by making "notches" in the parent
b) by inserting separated objects
c) ...

insertions? The desired result is to have a parent object with possible
updates to the children for further processing.

Can and should an accumulator be used instead of the inserting the child
objects?

Probably not, since you wrote "desired result...for further processing".
