Data recovery -- thin provisioned LVM metadata (?) problem after hardware failure

thank you for this inspection! ? I now have hope again to recover my data :)

Silly question: I? cloned
https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools and installed that
way successfully 1.0.4 but that is not the 1.0.5 branch you talked
about. Could you point the right 1.0.5 git, please?

thank you, Bernhard
