Steel is tanky. I think being able to burst this thing down so it doesn't survive long enough to run away is more likely to be successful than one that prioritises getting into range or ambushing, since this update specifically called attention to the fact that steel is highly defensive.

I think Survival Vs Infiltration comes down to "where do we want to fight the Phantom Point?"
Survival: Kumi, our more skilled senior, had problems tracking it's lair. While SEG is somewhat a cheat code, I think a survival charm suits tracking the point to it's lair and fighting it there- this makes it less likely to flee and means we can use its wonder faster after killing it.
Inflitration: this suits stealth and sneaking up on the Point after it's feeding or laying traps in its path. We take this if we want the slightly easier fight with a greater risk of it fleeing from a loosing fight.
Now after that write-up I think I favour survival - But I want some combat charms, because we could at least use the aman version of a standard bulletproof vest - Zhi is squishy.

Are we planing a letter home this or next week? We could probably add a question to Aunt Bi about deception artists.

It's not this week. So I suppose we'll do it next week and we might as well tell them what the next mission is.
Do we have anything else to ask them about?
Aunt Bi mentioned channel maps and a technique library. Channel maps won't be relevant for a while, but we might as well ask if the Clan have any smoke or steel techniques.

Do recall that the primary concern of our superiors is "we need to stop this thing from running away, which it will do if it senses anything amiss".
Wouldn't it make more sense to nudge the healing medicines into Survival?
Hmmm... thinking on it, we're probably going to want some pills. Just activating the box will take up 5 anam, and we're going to need sustain if we're going to use charms given to us. Healing could also be useful.

Being a being of deception infiltration will probably be less effective on it so let's skip that for something more reliable. It's lair will probably be near civilization meaning survival won't be essential, expert help will be critical, Zi has little idea what he's doing after all, and cultivation and combat are both generally good ideas, we want Kong Zi to survive and it not to after all. We should ask Nokai for help too, this seems right up her alley.

I think senses anything amiss was with regards to warning PF or doing something that affects the Phantom Point's cultivation of PF. It's not going to immediately run away, if it senses a junior Artist walking around in the tunnels.
Wugui even mentions a direct confrontation:
For all we know we'll be given a charm that makes Zhi look like a promising candidate for its next target and a combat charm that immobilizes the Phantom Point for X rounds.
Wugui is the one handing out the stuff, so he will give Zhi something that is useful.
For instance, 3x Cultivation is unlikely to just be a combination of anam and healing pills. He'd probably throw in a temporary technique there as well.
Just as a note, Ves and Ct have told us we're not going to be able to ask Nokai for help here. This is kind of a "the baby bird needs to spread it's wings and fly on it's own" moment.
