Stop it now! The garage is already built and the thread has completely gone off track. Hammarband has always been positioned flat on top of the standing studs just as wall band always is and has been embedded in the standing studs. All other invented names are wrong.
The discussion is concluded.
You are wrong. Discussion concluded😄.

Honestly, you might have just won the prize for "most ridiculous post." Afraid of being contradicted, or showing that you are wrong?

Your comments demonstrate a great lack of knowledge about timber house construction as well as ordinary conversation.
Hammarband is called the upper horizontal beam on the long side of the house, which reinforces walls of half-timber, post-framed, or log construction. The corresponding beam on the short side is called röstband. In modern building techniques, hammarband means the top lying rule that holds together a stud frame. Wikipedia

Braces should be permanently installed on all walls. The facade contributes marginally to stability, and it is not the facade's job to keep the structure upright.
Exactly right, as long as it's not gypsum, asfaboard, or any other stiffening board, it should be permanently braced. This always applies when using windbreaker as a wind barrier.

Now we have both gypsum and OSB on all the walls and gypsum on the ceiling. Then we placed a lot of diagonal braces between the rafters. Shouldn't that be enough?

Yes, since you have OSB, it will be stable.
Usually, you do the outside first, and if you don't have diagonal braces when you're working on the roof, the house can easily settle.
