I would agree, the contract is with Mab (the mantle) not Mab (the individual wearing the mantle)

The new Queen might want a symbolic reenactment of the signing of the contract. You know, just to demonstrate to the rest of Winter that the new Queen and current Winter Knight are in accord with one another, and not at all because Molly has had a thing for Harry for years and is currently being forced to wear the equivalent of an unbreakable magical fae chastity belt.

She might suggest it but Molly won’t force Harry in this.

It seemed to me that this wasn't a command as much as a recommendation. Mab's death would definitely break any contract just as Harry's death would do likewise. Molly is a sensitive who hasn't responded well to such things in the past. Granted she has grow loads since then but how well would she endure feeling thousands of deaths through her banner coming from the gates? Imagine what millions of deaths over a thousand years has done to Mab then imagine Molly feeling that. Over time she could build up to that but right now, maybe not. I think Mab in her conversation with Titania has now made arrangements for Summer to take over the outer gates should Mab fall but that didn't happen until after the battle.

What is troubling about that scene is Mab knows perfectly well, that Harry isn't about to kill Molly without a very good reason. Now, maybe because she didn't have time or more serious stuff was pressing, she was super vague, bad stuff will happen to Molly, Harry, and the Winter Court. Not, good enough.
