if it is built solidly from finished panels, the joints are elastically sealed, they are now externally firmer and form cracks, same with insulating panels. We had good experience with Relius crack coating instead of normal facade paint

Ok, but we don't need to worry about the structural integrity, do we? Does it make any sense to plaster over the cracks somehow? We would rather not have it repainted again, it was only done 7 years ago..

Since you have a new roof, the load distribution is now possibly completely different from what was originally calculated/assumed. For this reason, cracks are now forming (mostly apparently cosmetic in nature).

Ok thanks. The crucial question for me is, can I leave it like this or should the cracks be somehow sealed? I was thinking about rain - moisture - frost that could enter the insulation underneath?

Addition: it is a flat roof.

Here are a few pictures with a scale: The crack in the first two pictures is the widest; if you press very hard, it creaks slightly in some places and the plaster can be pushed inward slightly. Crack width approx. 0.3 mm. This is not the case with any of the other cracks. Can it be left like this or what is the best way to proceed?
