I've got a 1000S200-68 light gauge steel member bearing on top of a 6" stud wall as shown below. What is the typical approach in detailing the sloped condition? Would you miter the studs and bend the top wall track to match the slope of the roof joists? Or would you keep it level like below and use a clip angle at each joist (also would they act as web stiffener?)?

[Also, I want to say that this site has been a great resource and am grateful for all of the active posters here. I haven't always been able to follow up on the answers I receive for the questions I post but I'd like to now say thank you and that the answers have always been helpful.]

Use a clip angle such as a Steel Network Stiffclip LB600.
Yes, it would act as a web stiffener.
