I've got a Pixel 7a that is running Android 16. Not-rooted, bootloader locked. Android 16 has introduced an app named simply "Terminal" which actually runs a full Linux Ubuntu VM on the phone. It's very complete; there's no support for X or graphic apps, but as a commandline interface it's great.

I want to ssh into this. I know about using adb to get a shell to the overall Android commandline; but I want to ssh into the Ubuntu VM. Any advice?
