At least it's a straight edge. I wouldn't make a big deal about it.

NAHB Residential Construction Performance Guidelines states 3/4-inch. Most manufacturer's instructions I see specify no greater than 3/4 inch beyond support.
I think your answer is 3/4 inch.
Not to get off-topic, but around here maybe - maybe - one roofer in a thousand installs drip edge at the eaves and it's normal to find the roof extending an inch to an inch and a half at the rake and anything from about an inch to three inches at the eaves.
This is a typical "drip edge" here. How would you like to be the poor sap trying to clean that gutter without damaging that bottom course?
ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

To be honest, this particular roof was about 3 weeks old. I'm more concerned about wind uplift and tearing the shingles off.

42.16?KBI'd at least make it a small deal. Under the weight of ice & snow, those will probably bend over and at least crack.
Snap a chalkline. Use an old fine tooth Skilsaw blade, running backwards. Done.

Owens Corning provided me with a letter so I would have a backup:
