What would happen if the Runner plays Forged Activation Orders on Architect and the Corp can't (or doesn't want to) pay its rez cost? If the Corp has enough credits to pay, can however decide to not rez Architect and neither to trash it? Has the Corp to expose it to prove that it can't be trashed?

Also, does this mean that the Corp cannot ditch Architect when installing other ICE in front of that server?

And does the ability apply while it is still derezzed?

The Architect is destroyed. Except for "can be advanced" on Ice, no text is active while the ice is unrezzed. Therefore the Architect is still capable of being trashed while unrezzed.

As written, the corp cannot overinstall ice on a rezzed Architect either. Guess that's the price of having powerful ice.
