Installed the "cleat" against the eave:
Fastened the overlapping EPDM membrane into the cleat and slid the drip edge over it:
Fastened the drip edge to the roof and covered it with BAT tape:
I built the scupper boxes:
They flashed them:
This system means there are no exposed fasteners, just a long clean roof line. Looks pretty good. Can't wait for it to rain so we can see how the water comes off the scuppers.

Chris - first off, thanks for posting nice big hirez photos - it helps when I am trying to decipher the detail of what is going on.
In your last photo I am trying to understand what the piece is just behind the roofer's brush. I assumed the scupper was a trough that ran the full length of the roof, but perhaps not? Is it just a spout at the end of the roof?
The scupper on our house is just the spout. I think on some of Res4's earlier designs, they did have a trough that ran the length of the butterfly in the roof. I know the Plains House had some issues with debris and ice collecting in the trough. Our house has what's called a cricket in the middle of the roof, which is just a very gentle slope from a high point in the middle of the roof toward the edges. Then the water falls over the edge of the short wall into the scupper. The scupper box is a 20 inches long or so, and slides into a sleeve that's built into that spot to receive it. So the roofer in that pic is flashing the spot where the scupper and the roof and the sleeve all meet - basically the side of the wall at that point, the same depth as the rest of the wall on that side of the house. Much easier to see in a pic, but I don't think I have any of that spot before yesterday.
