Yikes, sorry. All these ventilation questions got me thinking.. (and as the wife always adds "and that's never good")

Barn.. as air tight as a screen door overall (i.e. tons of air movement). And most of it is unheated right now.

BUT, the finished 15x15 office space does get heated for a few hours per day just about every day. It's insulated with r-13 on the walls and r-19 on the ceiling. All of the insulation is faced with the kraft paper. That paper is facing in towards the room and then covered with drywall. Outside of the room in all directions is unconditioned.

Ok or not ok in terms of condensation issues etc.? Visually, it seems fine. And the way my mind is working through the issue, I think I'm in good shape. But what say you GJ?

What you have accomplished is a typical construction detail that has served well for many years. Also your office space is doubtful to produce the quantities of moisture that would reqire anything else but typical construction.

Keep your coffee making to 4 cups, or less, a day and you will be fine.

Who can live on 4 cups of coffee a day?

That sounds like the office I plan to install once my shop is built, only I think I might put a raised floor to get off the concrete. Or in my dream world I would insultate concrete and put in pex.
