Many of the incestuous engineers around here will just call out a double rafter on each side of the hip peak in an effort to "brace" it...

This.

Honestly, in my area, I have seen a flush residential steel beam fastened to wood support maybe 2 times in the last 30 years.

The detail specifics would depend on OPs conditions, although I wouldn't be relying only on friction. I was picturing a web nailer...

Would you be relying on friction only or would you have a nailer bolted to the bottom flange?

We still don't know if this is a one-sided connection to the beam or not. If it is, I'd be packing out the beam and using hangers to...

I doubt you will find anyone to be on board with this. Although, this is how 4x4 knee-brace connections to deck beams are done in my area.

Helical piles w/ underpinning brackets onto notched footings get the load as close as possible to concentric for retrofit conditions...

For better or worse, I do a fair amount of these. The AHJ requires an engineer design and "sign off" post construction. It is basically...

You can have them install flashing and weeps above the roof line.

I'd be more concerned about the eccentric load on the beam if there is any.

Fair enough although I don't think I ever said there was a problem with the floor. I usually set a hard limit of L/240 total load & 360...

For me, I would have no attachment to the post and use studs instead of PSL for only 4K. The floor diaphragm will keep it in place.
