I did manage to dig up the installation manual on the tile manufacturer’s website. Apparently the ‘open rake design’ is acceptable with proper flashing.

As Milt said, other ways to make it secure and water tight and I figured the manufacturer had a solution for a gable end.
My solution is so it matches the architecture of the house and looks properly finished. It shouldn't be that much in shingle work and if removed carefully no reason the tiles can't be reused. The framing for the return is also very simple. I don't see that as being more than a day maybe a day and a half job. It's a shame had the contractor done it right it was maybe another two hours worth of work.
It's a beautiful old brick home with matching garage well cared for it should look properly finished. The addition fits right in.
