Kick-out Flashing

I think it's a best practices for most roofers. However, kickout flashings and a 1-inch gap between siding and the end-cap on a gutter are mandatory for James hardie Siding Products; so if you don't have 'em the siding isn't installed to code.

I don't see anything even remotely resembling best practice there.

I agree with Tom. It looks like domeritus. An error in either roof design or framing. A valley shouldn't run into a wall. The framer's pants needs a kick-out maybe.

This guy has one of the best explanations of kickout flashing: http://www.kickout.info/irc.html
Where the arrow is located in the first picture, I would refer to that flashed location as "diverter" flashing. Further down where the gutter is located, I refer to that location as an area where "kickout" flashing is needed.

The inspection I did today had vinyl siding and no kickouts GSAP . I pushed on the wall under the end of the gutter and the sheathing was noticeably softer.
