Conspiracy Theorist:
I think that Harry as part of the wider BAt will as a side effect free Ivy of being the Archive by removing the need for her.

I don't think that will ever happen because one of the functions of the Archive is to be the keeper of the history of mankind. That will always be needed.

If a phone call travels over any portion of digitized network -- and that's almost inevitable, these days -- then it's "written" within the remit of the Archive. So Ivy had a copy of the phone-call.

<heh>
A very "human" notion, I like it! Thumbing your nose at the whole galaxy of spookyside wierdness-explanations.
But Jim has already confirmed that the Archive contains digital info, the entire Internet.
So, digitized phone lines, too.

Having accepted the contract, Kincaid would never relent. Ivy cannot "insist."
Unless she is willing to permanently imprison him, engage in memory-erasing magic, or otherwise "remove him from play," Ivy can't stop the hit.

Yet she managed to change it from instant death to probable death, which fits into Uriel's plan.

Exactly.
She knew Kincaid's own code of honor would require him to place a "kill shot." Barring outside interference, Harry certainly (not just "probably") would die: Kincaid doesn't make that kind of mistake.
But that's why:

It remains unknown whether Ivy was party to the Mab/Odin/Uriel plot, or just inferred that they would situate themselves to be that "outside interference" needed for Harry to survive.
