I can boot into a live Debian, but Debian doesn't see the SDD HD; the only (meaningful?) entry in /dev is +sda (my boot USB / live Debian stick), followed by -sg0.

The computer specifications indicate:
Storage 32 GB eMMC
Here is information on eMMC devices:

I assume that the eMMC device is soldered onto the motherboard. That
precludes removing the device, put it into another computer, and having
your way with it...
So, you need to find a live CD/ USB stick that includes support for eMMC -- e.g. according to Intel, a Linux kernel with the mmc_block module.
One trick I've found useful is to install Debian onto a USB flash drive instead of a HDD/ SSD/ SSHD. (I prefer SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 flash drives for their compact size, low cost, and decent speed.) This can be done on any computer with suitable BIOS, CD, DVD, and/or USB capabilities. I can then put the USB live drive into any machine that supports booting/ running from USB and get most of the functionality of a regular Debian system.
