Thanks, IslandRoofing. The owner/ of the company came by while the carpenter and roofers were here. I went around with him to show him the good and the not so good of the work as it stood at that point (more good than not). The photo below is the final outcome of the corner issue.
I didn't get all of the soffit and fascia I wanted replaced and it was less than the contracted linear and square feet, respectively. However, compared to what I had overall for this job, I consider it acceptable. I did opt for the CDX mainly because the rest of the decking is CDX and it might not stand out as much to a potential buyer. It now spans three rafters instead of none. I have a drip edge (albeit aluminum instead of galvanized). The overhang is within manufacturer's specs although it looks as if they cut the edges off the shingles on the front instead of moving them back as instructed by the contractor. The hole showing daylight through the attic ended up being some free-moving flashing that was pulled back into place and secured. The vent issue is resolved by replacing the plastic attic vent with a metal goose-neck duct vent with a damper (I had to buy it). The cricket and flashing around the chimney has been fixed. The ridge vents cover the original cuts in the decking and now extend to be flush with the edge of the roof. This also resulted in the mysterious roof "bumps" disappearing.So there is some give and take. I guess my main concern now would be the "trimming of the shingles and the effect it might have on the warranty. I will let the contractor assess that next week and will rest on his assessment. I'm exhausted. Too old for this much stress! Thanks again for all of your help!
P.S. The roofer (a friendly and chatty guy) said he didn't know that the drip edge was part of the IRC. He said, "They don't tell us nothing. We gotta know when they change something!"
