personalize val different from aider

[ArthurLiaoFY]

hi hello

I found that the personalization value set to the "chat_fname" was 100
while the personalization value set to the "chat_fname" in aider depends on the size of the repo (100/ len(fnames)

can I ask why you set it at a different way?

Reviewing with RepoMapper vs Aider's Repomap via Claude gave me this:

Comparison: Aider vs. Repomapper Handling of Chat Files

We do NOT exclude chat files from output. Looking at repomap_class.py:370-391, we iterate through all included files and chat files get their tags added to ranked_tags with the 20x boost.

Key Differences

Aspect	Aider	Repomapper
Personalization	✓ Chat files personalized	✓ Chat files personalized
Boost mechanism	50x on edges FROM chat files	20x on tags IN chat files
Chat files in output	✗ Excluded	✓ Included
Effect	Boosts what chat files reference	Boosts chat files themselves

I think maybe the difference is Claude code tends to search, rather than always read the whole file, so perhaps Repomapper's way is better in that context, versus Aider, which ALWAYS includes the chat file in the context.
