wood framing at stairs
(OP)
How is the wall framing usually done around stairs with an intermediate landing? Do they balloon frame up to the height of the floor or do they put another ridge beam at the landing level? I need to use this wall as a shear wall too.

If you need to have the framing be a particular way THAT IS BUILDABLE, then call it out and detail it as such. You are the structural enginer here.
You should coordinate your details with the architect too.
Good hunting.
