Sitting here with too much time on my hands, SWMBO out of town.
What if:

You preframe all your exterior wall corners like the above diagram, with it’s own short bottom plate, no top plate, and locked it all together by placing 1/2″ insulation board between the inner & outer members.
Prevent that solid mass in the corners with zip for insulation. Also, with standard construction, if wide outside corner boards are used there’s no stud to nail the siding to at the ends, which problem this would solve.
You could then frame ‘normal’ walls with a stud on each end to slide into the space between the existing ‘corners’, tieing them in with the top plates.
Just too much time on my hands tonight.Let’s not confuse the issue with facts!
