Multiple people in the thread requested these, so here they are:
Recruitment Guide (Spoilers)
These are just the missable characters; new characters who join in ways that are impossible to miss are not mentioned.
If a vanilla character is recruitable, their recruitment method is either the same as in vanilla or unmissable.
Ch. 4: Not a recruitment, but killing enemies in ch. 4 has no long-term consequences.
Ch. 7: Talk to Pablo with Eirika.
Ch. 8: Do the Ephraim-Eirika talk conversation, then have the resulting character talk to the berserker.
Ch. 8: Not a recruitment, but getting a Tirado battle conversation with one of your new characters will have an effect in a later chapter.
Ch. 9A: Amelia won’t show up in ch. 13E if missed in ch. 9, so recruit her here.
Ch. 9A: Talk to Binks with Eirika.
Ch. 13A: Don’t forget Cormag! (he’s still recruited via the vanilla method, this is just a reminder)
Ch. 14A: Don’t beat the map on turn 1.
Ch. 15A: Collect the wyrmslayer desert treasure. This is Eirika route-exclusive.
Ch. 20A: Talk to Eyechael with anyone.
Ch. 10B: Don’t beat the map before turn 6, and try to ensure the green cavaliers survive until then (if a specific one dies, you won’t get the recruitment).
Ch. 11B: Make sure to talk to L’arachel and Dozla, I don’t remember if they still automatically join at the end of the map.
Ch. 12B: Visit a certain village.
Ch. 12B: Follow the hints given to you at the start of the map. Be sure not to accidentally end the map before you’re ready!
Ch. 20B: Talk to Eyechael with anyone.
Some characters who are recruitable on Eirika route do not join on Ephraim route, and vice versa.
Answer to a common question related to Ch. 13A (and Ch. 12B if you’re on my fan-patch); don’t click until you see either of those maps for yourself:
No, Pablo won’t return to the party, even if you spare them. There are no long-term consequences for killing them here.
Secret Shop Locations + Desert Treasure Locations
The secret shop locations are vanilla.
The desert treasure locations are vanilla, but their contents are not necessarily vanilla and vary between routes.

Is this off the table for a future update?

I considered adding it to the fan-patch (making the civilians in ch. 17 red and giving Syrene a white phosphorous weapon), but opted against it bc it’d look edgy out of context.

Another minor update to the fan-patch: I improved the in-game documentation for one of my other changes. As Zappa pointed out, lying is morally wrong, so I felt obligated to make this mini-patch (by changing 1-2 text boxes).

Another minor update to the fan-patch: I had forgotten one of the promotion items when I did my oversight correction. This has been addressed.

Another minor update to the fan-patch: Fixed a bug that could prevent the auto-end turn function from working properly if Saleh was not deployed in Scorched Sand.
Thank you for reporting this, @Zapparite!

No. Each one of them must be destroyed or your army will starve.

Uploaded an endgame save to the fan-patch’s dropbox for the people who want to see Endgame 1 and Endgame 2 but don’t want to actually play through the rest of Sacred Light of Promise. It doesn’t include the Ewan changes (and some units may be slightly overleveled), but should otherwise be reasonably accurate to what an ordinary playthrough of my fan-patch should look like at that point.
EDIT: Upon further reflection, I’ve removed that endgame save from the dropbox to prevent confusion.
