Help with understanding height

[Thomas-Rice]

Hi team,
Can you help me to understand the how the height is worked out please? All of my pipelines using minver are giving me a height of 1, which I know is incorrect and I would like to understand why?

Here is a sample of the verbose logs I get for one example:

$ minver -v trace
