Design loads jump at roof perimeters, especially corners. That's why "it passed in the field" doesn't automatically mean it performs where it matters most.

Roofing fun fact: "It'll be fine" is not a tested standard.

Specs matter, but testing-backed performance matters more. Air infiltration, water infiltration, and static water head testing can tell you a lot about how a roof system behaves when conditions get ugly.
