In my county you need to have the insulation inspected. And, you need to staple inside the studs so that you can glue the drywall to the studs. So, how do you fasten the insulation at the ends? Do you just tuck in the vapor barrier or do you leave enough to staple just like the sides?

I always leave enough paper to staple, at the ends.

After the insulation is stapled in we put a 4 mil poly over the whole wall to make sure we have a good V/B seal.
