Where do I find the minibuffer bindings in Ivy?
Ivy includes several minibuffer bindings, which are defined in the ivy-minibuffer-map keymap variable. The most frequently used ones are described here. swiper or counsel-M-x add more key bindings through the keymap argument to ivy-read. These keys, also active in the minibuffer, are described under their respective commands.
Why does Ivy not close the minibuffer between commands?

Ivy strives for minimalism, simplicity, customizability and discoverability. Uncluttered minibuffer is minimalism.
How do I navigate buffers in Vim?
For instance, :bdelete leaves the buffer in the hidden list, while :bwipeout removes global marks (see :help marks, and the description of uppercase marks).

Where is C-O in the minibuffer on Ivy?
C-o in the minibuffer displays a hydra menu. It opens up within an expanded minibuffer area. Each menu item comes with short documentation strings and highlighted one-key completions. So discovering even seldom used keys is simply a matter of C-o in the minibuffer while in the midst of the Ivy interaction.
Why does Ivy not close minibuffer between actions?
Uses avy to select one of the candidates on the current candidate page. This can often be faster than multiple C-n or C-p keystrokes followed by C-m.
