      For a pipeline of the following shape:

      [{$lookup: {let: {a: ...}, pipeline: [{$facet: {array: [{$redact: {...$$a...}}]}}]}]
      

      We can get incorrect results with optimizations enabled if the following occurs:

      1. $lookup creates the sequential cache and slaps it at the end of the sub-pipeline
      2. $lookup then attempts to re-order the cache to the optimal position with a non-correlated prefix. It relies on the dependency tracker to achieve this.
      3. The $facet within the $lookup reports it's dependencies, (incorrectly?) indicating that it does not depend on any of the let variables even though it has a sub-pipeline which refers to $$a. This happens because the $redact stage within the $facet does not support dep tracking, so the variable reference is not found.
      4. The cache does not swap with the facet since it believes it to be non-correlated, which can lead to incorrect query results.

      Note that in step 3, if a stage within the $facet is "not supported" for dep analysis, it is not propagated back to the facet but instead ends up setting the needWholeDocument flag.
