The raw converter applies is own sharpening and adjustments and logs everything into the XML file. These adjustment are usually pretty minimal and consistent across images. In-camera conversion does the same thing. I don't think its necessary to find fault with Twitchy, if she says she didn't do additional processing she probably didn't.

So just state "default NR and sharpening applied".

I'm used to smaller sensors and I have to deal with noise even at base ISO. It's a curse and it is boring. I recently bought a Fuji partly for this reason but Fuji's sensor outputs - without NR - aren't as clean at base ISO as the provided pictures. We know that Canon has partly filled the gap with competition, but aren't still at the state of the art. Repeating "no NR, no sharpening" let people believe that Canon's sensors dominate the APSC world, which is not true, and which is very misleading.

And if Twitchy can't just verify if a slider/checkbox is high, then she just shouldn't state anything and remain careful.

Yup. Live and learn.
