She let him understand what the ghouls were saying, she helped him translate and understand Kemmler's book.

None of which happened in Proven Guilty.

I still think you are missing the point, it isn't what Lasciel does to help Harry in Proven Guilty, it is about what she is becoming, "Lash." That is her part in the plot that has repercussions for the next few books.

How did anyone know of the existence of LC and who knew it well enough to know it was broken and so how to fix it? Only one character would have known by default. Lasciel's Shadow. Mab would have known how to get in but how could she know that it was there and broken?

Add Lea and Mab to the shortlist.
Because the Way from the lab leads directly to Lea's Murder Garden, Lea (and Lea-proxy Mab, during Lea's "sidhecicle incident" (and very-likely Mab all the time, invoking the whole Mab's Handmaiden vassalage)) can open a Way into the lab any time Harry isn't there, and peek in. If Bob is there, they either need to silence him, or hide; but either/both seem possible...
But between Bob getting sent out riding Mister, getting "free passes" from Harry, and Harry taking Bob in a backpack, there's PLENTY of occasions for Lea and/or Mab to gain complete access to Harry's lab. This exact thing -- Bob & Harry both being out of the lab -- happens in Proven Guilty; between Harry's attempt to use it, and Bob discovering the repair, & realizing the (prior) flawed state.
Mab could cross Harry's Threshold, leave 99% of her power behind, and still have more power (and of course skill!) than Harry, for the purposes of fixing LC.

The error was subtle enough that he didn't realize it was an error: Bob isn't an infallible expert. Bob had said, "none of the evil geniuses" he had worked with could have created LC; so it was sophisticated stuff, both subtle and powerful. Bob simply overlooked the flaw, it was a "plausible" -- but erroneous -- design.
What WAS obvious to Bob was the CHANGE. Bob noticed that immediately. And he compared the new to the old... and THEN saw what was wrong with the old.

I take it as a given for my personal canon that Mab never leaves Arctis Tor in the book. Lea's on ice. In the realm of characters it could have been Battle Ground added Vadderung. But for me the point is moot. Mab works and if you end the series at Cold Days it gives a more or less complete picture.
A report from DragonCon from reddit quotes Butcher as saying he might pause the Cinder Spires series since his second wife took the cats in the divorce. Really, truly?
--- Quote from: reddit ---Update on Cinder Spire. Went through divorce during pandemic. He misses the cats. He’s considering setting it aside for a while as working on it traumatizes him. Still has Fenris, but sounds like Kitty got the others. Still has Bru too. He sounded real sad in talking about losing the cats and working on the Spires. Fenris bosses around Bru.
