As it will be undercover, take the vertical to the top and mortise the two horizontals in. Mitring the Ends where they meet inside.

I don't know the answer to that. I'm just following framing advice on the net.
I suspect it's to add strength, because the brace is inset by about 10mm and that L shaped bearing surface you can see in the photo on the end of the brace would need meat behind it to deal with compressive loads or it might fracture the tenon.
The mortise is also cut at an angle and so the tenon fills the mortise.
I've used my little mortise machine to cut the main mortise and then made stepped cuts with it to remove as much as possible before chiselling out the angle.

That looks excellent. Dont forget gaps will open up anyway when the wood dries out.

Thinking the same thing. I did look back a dozen or so pages hoping to find a plan, without success.
If there is movement in those post supports could you replace one or two of the metal dowels with bolts to pinch up the slot? Or will that spoil the aesthetic?
