Wondering if “Stairs-a” or “Stairs-b” is usual practice? That is. should the bull nose stop at the baseboard (partially covering the stringer) – per “a” – or should it stop at the edge of the stringer per “b”?
Are both wrong?

Easy-to-make tools simplify the framing, while time-tested flashing techniques make it last a lifetime.

Think you're stuck with A
The second one won't look any good. The first will look fine if you clean up the overlap. Running the shoe will pose another question. End it at the base or wrap around and cope it to whatever's sitting on top of the skirt and run it into the wall.
Best of luck.
Use a board stretcher to stretch the baseboard past or to the end of the bullnose. Just kidding. I agree w/ the other post ... it would look weird stopping short. It's these kinds of details I always seem to have great consternation with ...
Yeah, he's basically stuck -- the baseboard and skirt board should meet, eliminating the issue.
