You generally want your attic to breath. Trapping all heat inside your attic isn't helping your house to breath. You want your living space well insulated, but do not fill your roof vents. They are there for a reason.

Even with spray foam insulation under the roof deck? From everything google seems to say, you usually don't want ventilation:

However, I'm not the one who did the insulation or the venting, so I'm trying to find out if they broke the "rules" for a reason I can't think of.

I had a home that was insulated with a nonrigid foam. It was wonderful in the attic during all seasons. The attic becomes basically part of the interior of the home with comparable temperatures. No vents in the attic are necessary, but the HVAC system needs better humidity control and fresh air exchanger.

Please stop listening to these ignorant people that don’t know anything about spray foaming a roof almost all the information people are giving you is incorrect. Contact an experienced foam insulator in your area to come out and give you his opinion. I’m pretty sure I know the answers but I’m not going to speculate without seeing the entire house you need to make sure you don’t make any mistakes.
