First of all, I have not read further here.
As it looks, the top ceiling is the end of the building envelope with the mineral wool insulation. (Otherwise pointless)
Consequently, the vapor barrier would be found below the ceiling and not on the roof. Which would rather be an underlay membrane.
However, this seems to be "airtight" at the verge and ridge, i.e. there is no air circulation possible under the underlay membrane.
At the coldest spots, often component connection corners/rafters, the underlay membrane would consequently have to get wet.
How is the roof space continuously ventilated?

How is air circulation normally executed in a cold roof? Because in our case it is also constructed as described.

The water vapor is only slowed down by the vapor barrier so that the insulation continues to function; it thus diffuses into the roof space and reaches components such as rafters or the underlay membrane where it condenses. However, this is not desired, and therefore ventilation is often provided via an open ridge. If the angle is very shallow, it may be necessary to also open the eaves side. If applicable, there may even be a bathroom in the floor below, which leads to increased condensation only above it.

Unfortunately, I very often see that when drying screed, people forget to seal the hatch of the retractable ladder! Even if the cold roof was correctly constructed, hundreds of liters of water collect there! Where else should it go, except upwards?
