I am 95% sure that the primary reason why Kurisu doesn't get stabbed is because SERN detected the first D-mail. In regards to your "how" then... here are two possibilities:
1. Following the timeline, on July 23rd (5 days before Kurisu is stabbed), a D-mail appeared on Daru's phone, and thus triggered SERN's detection. SERN tracks down and does some things behind Okarin/Kurisu's back within 5 days that somehow thwarts the assassin's attempt.
2. Here's a more interesting possibility. The moment SERN detected the D-mail, the assassin is
predetermined to no longer appear. What I'm thinking of is this (thanks to Marina2's last question for tipping me into this madness
): the beta timeline where Kurisu is killed and therefore there is no dystopia is
because of the death of Kurisu. This is a question of predetermation: future Suzuha is sent to the past to kill Makise Kurisu because her death is predetermined so that her future will be bright. Normally, this goes against Steins;Gate's time travel modus operandi (which has been, so far, parallel universe-based), but the mention of physical time travel I think makes this a possible, if somewhat tenuous, answer, since it might operate under a different system. Following this logic then, the reason why Kurisu doesn't die in the alpha timeline is because SERN's detection of the microwave created a future where Suzuha's mission is changed (
why her mission changed... my theory is so wild I can't even properly put it into words).
Speculating about S;G is so fun.
