Take a look at this pic.
Where those shed roof top edges are sticking out at this gable end, what do you call that top edge, and how is it best made weatherproof and then finished?

why, with trim boards and flashing, of course...
I don't know that it has a name, like say, pork chop, & not sure why you think it's a hard to waterproof detail....
tell us more....
I'm not really sure which trim detail you're talking about Stinger. Do you mean the rakeboards? Rakeboards are like the "last rafter at the gable end" and sometimes overhang the gable. Is this where you're talking about?
Highest part of the lower rakes it think.
The ones below the second floor gable.It's Never Too Late To Become

The few times I have run into those they always seem to be an annoyance.
Are they open or closed underneath?
I would think to cover the whole end and top with copper.
Perhaps a couple of the island boys have a better suggestion.

Yeah, copper. Drip edge all around, whatever roofing on top. copper fascia cap on the end return would be nice. I'd tuck the fascia up under the drip edge. Terminate the cap at the face of the rake fascia with a hem and a bead of geocel. We add "cleat" behind a lot of work, a 2" wide strip nailed to solid,that can then be riveted to.
