Leaky flat deck roof house is asphalt but need rubber

Just curious, I have a leaky deck roof that leaks no matter what it seems

I am breaking down and putting on a single piece rubber roof on only the deck.

I am still at the decision point whether I want to rip the rubberized shingles off and the put on plywood to cover the irregularities for the rubber roof or just leave them on and put plywood over the mess.

However my main roof is endura and asphalt

Rubber cannot contact oil or asphalt, so what barrier do I use to lap the rubber into the crossover to the main roof?

Both sides of the xover have tar so I am left with tin foiling the whole leading edge (both top and bottom of the rubber) which isn't recommended either.

What do I do in this circumstance?
There must be a barrier for the rubber roof besides 5/8" plywood?
Seems like someone would make a coating for this issue.

Ah well
