The parent plant had yellow flowers but no thorns that I could see.

It sure looks like one.  I am by no means an expert, but plant ID is one of my hobbies.   Is there a terminal leaf at the end?   Is it a shrub?
I am in zone 7b, and though I know yours is not the same plant, the leaves look quite a bit like the beach pea we have here.

Try this link.  It has a great step-by-step identification tool.

I ve never grown siberian peashrub, but to me it looks like a carob tree. The leaflets are slightly concave at the end. What did you all grow, where is it from?

The flowers were most definitely bright yellow, not white or pale yellow. It had a terminal leaf at the end of each set of leaflets and no thorns that I could see. The plant was a multi-stemmed shrub, maybe 8 feet tall, growing in an area with 0 irrigation, in sand on the edge of a stone cliff and against a brick retaining wall facing south. It was close to a small pistachio grove.
