Proven Guilty and my personal canon.

You are great at looking up those quotes! ;) I usually try to do that too, but couldn't today. Why should Uriel involve himself? Consider, Hell Fire was used at Arctus Tor, maybe not much of an excuse but enough for Uriel to manipulate things for Team Harry. Why was Harry's mission in Skin Game considered so important that Uriel would risk his Grace to insure that it was successful? This is going to end in the ultimate battle between Good and Evil, and for good or ill, in spite of his flaws, Harry has a key role to play in it as star born.. Uriel and his Boss are going to do what they can to see that he is there at the end to play that role.

Harry had to get in the vault to get an invitation he could not refuse from Hades, and get the superweapons to stop Ethnui. Without them, she crushes Chicago. And now Harry has some of Hades' arsenal. Uriel wanted Harry to have them.
Or Uriel was ordered to get them to Harry. Also possible it was decided Ethnui might be or a power level Not Allowed to walk about, so get big weapons out, or an archangel needs to take a direct hand, and that is not wanted.
Snark Knight:
If Lash sabotaged Little Chicago / hid Harry's own mistake from him with the intent to blow it up in his face, why was she busting her ass to stop him from using it? Why would she want to kill the host she still had every expectation of turning?
I don't think Nic and co were monitoring her all that closely, or necessarily even had the capacity to give Lash orders remotely. The Shadow is sort of a fire-and-forget weapon. Harry picked it up; he'll convert eventually - that was considered a 100% certainty until Harry showed he'd resisted in SmF. Nic didn't see a need to micromanage. He'd got some intel of Harry using Hellfire, and figured it was just a waiting game from then on.
Based on Lash' willingness to go to extremes to stop Harry using the table, I wonder if she'd even noticed the flaw but was for some reason forbidden from telling him it was there. She seemed awfully sure he was about to kill himself trying.
