There was two separate reshoot teams for Rogue One, one focused on Act 1 changes while the other handled the ending and better continuity leading in to ANH. Essentially they did not expect Disney would let them kill all of the main cast so they created family friendly yet convoluted ways some survived. Jyn was originally an empire soldier and instead of having her confront Krennic as the daughter-turned-rebel Vader got the honor with a force choke. Her role shifted to Bodhi being the turncoat pilot set by Galen Erso, and then they still needed a backstory for her related to Saw while also cutting out some Dantooine as the previous rebel base material.
That's why Act 1 was such a jumbled mess they cut a lot of rebel and Saw Gerrera story from the original while inserting Bodhi and alternate Jyn stuff from reshoots. Act 3 got the greenlight to murder everybody so Krennic vs Jyn Erso could happen while Vader got the hallway scene with Leia's corvette getting away.
