I’m struggling to figure out the best way to flash a shingle roof to a T-111 wall. The roof ends before the wall does. Right now, the shingles just run up behind the T-111. At the front edge of the roof, the flashing from behind the fascia also runs behind the T-111. That allows a path for water running down the roof along the wall to get behind the T-111 either in front of the fascia board or below the eaves. How do I make the transition from flashing behind the T-111 along the shingles to flashing on top of the T-111 to wrap around the front of the roof?
Thanks in advance for your collective expertise!

Any chance anybody has a drawing or a photo or two of what this means? I'm not a builder and am trying to put a roof over a side entry. I have T1-11 siding and will be putting asphalt shingles on the peak roof. This is similar to the case addressed in this post in that the roof ends several feet from the wall corner on one side and many feet from the corner on the other (with a couple of windows on the way).
Thanks for any help at all!

Use a Kick Out flashing
I suggest you use a "Kick Out" flashing

The kick out will direct water running down the step flashing into your gutters.
The fascia should stop short of the T1-11 so that water running along it will drip to the outside. Slide a flat piece of flashing up between the siding and fascia to cover any gaps. Flashing should go up to the roof deck, behind the kick out, to catch any wind driven rain coming off the roof edge.
You can buy kick out flashing, or fold from soft aluminum. https://www.finehomebuilding.com/how-to/departments/building-skills/bending-kick-out-flashing.aspx
