Description
Some apps still show information in the side panel or the file list even if they are not whitelisted for guest users.
- If the the comments app is not whitelisted, the comments tab is still usable for guest users and also in the file list the icon for unread comments appears.
- If the files_version app is not whitelisted, guest users still see the version history in the versions tab and can download older versions of files.

Research direction
Start by tracing the guest-user whitelist checks for the comments and files_version apps, then inspect how the sidepanel, file list, comments tab, versions tab, and older-file downloads are exposed. Done means unwhitelisted apps provide no guest-visible tabs, icons, version history, or older-file downloads.
