As far as I know, ADB needs to be run on another device which is plugged into the phone.

I suppose one could write a script/app that detects the device is plugged in, and automatically looks for and installs updates using adb. That would be the least amount of friction.

I think you can run ADB on another Android device, so maybe an Obtainium+ADB device that stays at home.
