Were the exterior top plates sealed? – GreenBuildingAdvisor

Hello,
We recently had a full roof replacement and I’m starting to question if a past insulation contractor did not complete what we paid for. I have attached the scope of work in question from the contract.
– In the two shots of the roof off, does it look like the exterior top plates are sealed?
– In the “where to seal” photo, does sealing the exterior top plate mean the area in red and/or the area in green?
– General question on blown-in insulation, as you can see insulation got blown all the way to the soffits in many bays – is it not standard practice to block insulation from reaching the soffits with either a piece of bat insulation or rigid foam board? Was this just a poorly executed job?
Thanks for any insight.
