Run the same ARM64 Ubuntu 24.04 rootfs and launcher scripts as Android inside the ios-linuxkit emulator (UBUNTU_ROOT=/), and rename the iOS runtime, bridge service, filesystem scheme (ubuntu://) and tests from Alpine to Ubuntu. - Patch the emulator for glibc/GNU userland: arm64 O_DIRECTORY, clone3 pidfd, pselect without a sigmask, mremap across COW pages, fakefs st_dev/d_type and root entry type, sync_file_range, and drop --no-expose-wasm for Node.js 26. - Share init-ubuntu.sh and its modules with Android; add --prepare for the per-boot refresh and skip Android-only steps when UBUNTU_ROOT=/. - Pin npm's global prefix to /usr/local and make command-not-found use apt-cache pkgnames. - Remove the old Alpine root on install and reject Alpine backups. - Rebind the terminal server when the requested port changes.

Summary
Replaces the iOS Alpine terminal with the same ARM64 Ubuntu 24.04 rootfs and launcher scripts that Android uses (#9), running inside the vendored
ios-linuxkitemulator withUBUNTU_ROOT=/.platforms/ios/Alpine→platforms/ios/Ubuntu, the Swift runtime/service (UbuntuRuntime,UbuntuService, …), the C bridge (ubuntu_*), theUbuntubridge service, theubuntu://localhost/filesystem scheme and the XCTest suites.platforms/ios/Ubuntu/README.md): arm64O_DIRECTORYvalue,clone3with pidfd,pselectwithout a sigmask,mremapacross copy-on-write pages, fakefsst_dev/d_typeand the synthesized root entry type,sync_file_rangeas a no-op, and no--no-expose-wasmfor Node.js 26.init-ubuntu.shand itsacode-*.shmodules from Android assets. They gain--prepare(per-boot refresh with no session) and skip Android-only steps (linkerconfig, Android groups, jemalloc wrapper) whenUBUNTU_ROOT=/./usr/localvia$PREFIX/etc/npmrc(it defaulted to$PREFIX, outsidePATH). command-not-found usesapt-cache pkgnames(apt-cache searchtook 10 s+ per typo on iOS).libjemalloc2is installed only where the Node wrapper is used.Library/Alpineroot. Alpine backups are rejected with a clear message.
