First, HIs cannot "require" anything, we can only "write it up for correction".
Second, no insulation shield is missing *at this time* as there is no place to put insulation. Now, once the proper firestop is installed, giving a flat surface around the chimney where insulation could be placed, then, yes, an insulation shield is then required.
