Funny...not pugnacious here...curious how the ladder bends the shingles with that approach of overhang.

Of course not. I attach my stabalizer and land it on the roof so the ladder is held off about an inch. Same as I do if there are gutters. No difference that I can think of.

Yes. I use the Werner Quik-Clik which just snaps on or off. Only costs about $35.00 And, if you have limited room, it come apart with hitch pins for easy storage in a trunk or whatever. Use it daily.

Open, Woven and Cut valleys- all relatively common although few newer homes have woven valleys around here. Woven and Cut valleys should be lined with at least one 36" wide strip of roll roofing run down the valley.
