Ref T7094. We should do a policy query on the files IMO because there exists a scenario where the file gets locked down directly. This requires being a bit more disciplined about setting user, which in turn requires deciding whether or not to show edit / reply links as a separate piece of logic, not conditional on user presence.

This is not the best code but I don't think it gets worse with this and is just some other nuance in any larger cleanup we take on someday.

looked at a revision and noted inline comments rendered correctly with reply / edit actions. looked at a diff standalone and noted no reply / edit actions as expected. looked at a "details" link on a transaction and it rendered correctly. looked at a diff in phriction of page edits and it looked good. grepped around and verified the remaining callsite in diffusion already has the setUser call.
