When an inning gets reconstructed, it starts with the 1st batter and doesn’t conclude until the inning is over, and ERs aren’t determined until the inning is over. I don’t know how other scoring apps reconstruct an inning, but I wrote one and couldn’t do it because it was so complicated.  That’s why I compute ERs manually after every game.

 Most of the time it’s pretty simple, but as the example in this thread shows, it can get complicated as well.

That's certainly true, but in this case no reconstruction is needed because there shouldn't be an error recorded (assuming again that all three base runners were on without an error).

Additionally, this is not always the case. For example. Single. Fly out. R1 goes to 3rd on an error throwing the ball back in. Single scores the run (can't determine er on first runner yet). Home run. Inning is still going but reconstruction doesn't need to wait until the inning is over - the run is earned.
