This phal is in full bloom atm and I don’t want to stress it out. Can it deal with a little root rot until it’s done blooming or should I act now?

It seems ok, especially given that the old rotten root is now dried out. I suggest waiting.
It looks very healthy. Just let the roots dry out completely and become silvery instead of bright green between watering and it’ll be fine to wait to repot until the blooms fall.
I vote waiting. Rest of the roots seems fine
Dry root is not same as root rot. This one probably dried after it went out of media. Completely natural.
Can someone point out which root has rot? I’m trying to learn.
Okay, you also could just slide the plant just a bit up, cut it off and put it back in.
That’s not even rot it’s just a dying roots from the orchid. It’s fine. The orchid pulls all the water out of the root and leaves an empty husk and *that* part will break down in the media but that’s not a big deal. Like, you don’t want your media full of a ton of that, but it’s always going to happen here and there.
