I would be more interested to see a superbeam calc for the purlin -
having to hold the roof up all on its own, once the stud wall under it

currently supported all along its length by load-bearing walls which go
all the way down to ground level].

Wouldn't that be a bit unusual in the normal two rooms per floor house?
