As I said earlier, she could've had her arm bent upwards in that shot, so we could only see her elbow. Make it look like she's only wearing a golden plate when it's actually her new arm. Notice how most of her outfit is concealed in that picture, wouldn't be surprised if that also included her right arm. So I'm sure she'll don her robotic arm, most likely at the end of the Volume, can't see her doing it any sooner.

As for the downtime being unrewarding, I feel it was necessary for her to get her head on straight. She crashed and burned in Volume 3, and she repeats her mistakes, next time she could lose her life. And Tai can tell she's not ready to fight again, so he's letting her set her own pace, and picking herself up when she stumbles, like with that traumatic flashback in the kitchen, he let her regain control instead of doing it for her. And now she knows Adam's name, and knows he's still out there, and unless she faces him he'll haunt her for the rest of her life. And that is just not an option. What'll get her moving again, we'll just have to wait and see.

As for Tyrian going to Beacon for info on Ruby, considering the state it's in that's highly unlikely. I feel he already knows Ruby is on the move in Anima, and I wouldn't be surprised if he led the attack on Shion, so they couldn't use the airship to fly to Mistral. The opening has him fighting Ruby, so again, I say he's a lot closer to her than you think.
