We don't have the Raavad the Kesef Mishnah quotes. But the secondary
sources I found who quote the KM tend to assume that it's a lost raavad
ad loc, Yesodei haTorah 1:10. Someone (unfortunately, I lost whom before
I gave up the search for the Raavad) pointed to the lack of mar'eh maqom
in the KM as indication that none was needed because it is supposed to
be right there.

: 2) Hirsch writes that in that particular series of pesukim (about Hashem's
: decision to bring about the mabul) we are taught about man's free will as
: well as Hashem unchanging free will, and how the two work with each other.

I don't know what "free will" means when everything is obvious and the
One about Whom we are speaking is lemaalah min hazman. Either issue
alone make the concept of "choice" hasrd to apply. The question of free
will even among mal'akhim raises the question of whether they had enough
clarity for any potential free will to never get utilized.
