This is done by going inside the browser container:
1) copy the browser history file (to avoid locked access)
2) get the most recent `last_visit_time`
Note that the browser history file is just a regular SQLite database.
Chromium stores the timestamp in microseconds since 1601-01-01 00:00:00 UTC,
hence a conversion is necessary to get the usual Unix epochs (in seconds).
To verify, run `uv run chromefleet.py` as usual, start a browser, and query it.
Before:
```json
{"ip_address":"100.70.213.14",
"cdp_url":"http://100.70.213.14:9222"}
```
After:
```json
{"ip_address":"100.70.213.14",
"cdp_url":"http://100.70.213.14:9222",
"last_activity_timestamp":1769470996.638466}
```

is copy necessary or can we just query the History file directly?

When Chromium is still running, it will lock write access to that file (because sqlite3 will want to read and write).
