I'm such a construction nerd. I just have to get pictures of the technical details. The flashing shown here runs along the entire length of the porch. It will one day be covered with wooden siding. In the meantime it's reassuring that it is protecting the house.
This detail shows not only the metal flashing in the doorway, but also the gaps in the deck flooring. You need these gaps or water will collect in the seems and rot away your wood. Nails between the planks ensure even spacing. These gaps will get wider as the wood dries.
