Notice how all the thin pool volumes are missing in storage-inst/06-committed.yml. They are present in the corresponding XML file 06-committed.xml, though; but it's much harder to read because the edges of the device graph are in the <Holders> sub-hierarachy using SIDs (numeric IDs) as the reference. With those SIDs, the thin pool volumes are below LV "thin_pool00": lvm_lv /dev/system/thin_pool00 sid 93 lvm_lv /dev/system/var sid 100 lvm_lv /dev/system/syslogs sid 106 lvm_lv /dev/system/home sid 112 lvm_lv /dev/system/opt sid 118 lvm_lv /dev/system/extra sid 124 And this is reflected in <Holders> in 06-committed.xml.
