SourceHow does StalwartStalwartThis unit cannot lose more than 1 HP in a single turn. and Master Blastbones work?
StalwartStalwartThis unit cannot lose more than 1 HP in a single turn. is only applicable to HP lost in a unit's turn. It doesn't apply for damage dealt outside of a unit's turn, such as damage dealt by the companions summoned through Master Blastbones.
SourceCan the Spiritual Guardian companion maintain HP above its stat between battles?
Yes. On the master side, you can use the Bone Armor class ability to add HP above a party member's Health stat (and there are other ways for units to gain HP above their Health stat as well). The companion summoned by Spiritual Guardian maintains its HP between battles (per the ability's text), and that includes if its HP is above its Health stat.
