Default Face Nailing roof

OK, this is starting to make some sense. This is an easy roof, no
hips, valleys, etc. just a staight line of plywood on a slope...

I start at the bottom, use this mastic stuff to keep the bottom edge
stuck down and then move upward right?


Yes, I use a few nails to keep the corners down.

Do I nail down the top of the starter and then overlap that with a
second sheet that is stuck down with mastic, etc.?


Correct.

When I reach the top, the top edge is then stuck down with mastic once
again -- ?? -- any overhang?


When I reach the top, I usually use a piece of metal flashing
to transition to another roof, or as a termination. I screw
this down with roofing screws (with neoprene washers). You
can use mastic to seal down the last piece if you want. I
just like to use metal.
