Supplementary aligments in VAF
It depends on the tool and the use case but generally they should be.
It's not as important with short reads as only a small portion of reads have supplementary mapping (unless you're looking at breast cancer post chromothripsis, for example). But imagine the case where you're working with long reads (as I do). I have samples with a mean read length of 60kb. The human reference is structurally different to any given sample meaning that the chance of any given long read having supplementary mapping is high. If supplementary mapping didn't count towards allele counts then many would be artificially low. This is my use case, others are different.
I would count them unless you have some reason to suspect that they are are artefact of the editing and or the mapping. Sorry to never give a straight answer but that's bioinformatics! From what you described I would guess 99% are real but there's normally some noise and if that's of concern your code should include some QC. I.e, consider if multiple reads support the sup mapping and their quality.
