So the mirror with the hands clasped?… is just completely made up? Because she’s clearly not doing that irl.

Live Photo is a feature where it captures a couple of seconds of video before/after the photo is taken. From the article that feature was not enabled.
The computational pipeline is where you press the shutter and it blends a few frames together in order to do focus stacking, HDR etc. Based on what I have tried with my iPhone it is doing this in < 100ms which is not enough time to produce these sort of artefacts.
The total latency of shutter + computational photography + save to disk is not greater than the time between her moving from one pose to another.
So the artefacts you would expect to see if this whole pipeline was out of sync was both poses stitched on top of each other in the mirror. Not multiple ones in different mirrors. And definitely not with the whole image as clean as this.
Live Photos are clearly marked.
