Research direction
Start by inspecting the manifest command and ExportOperation, focusing on how the export input is passed from stdin. Reproduce the issue with the two commands shown for Repository and PSResourceList, then verify that each returns only the PSGallery instance rather than every item.

Description
Prerequisites
- Write a descriptive title.
- Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
- Search the existing issues.
Steps to reproduce
As a user, I want dsc resource export --input to honour the filter I pass, so that I can export the resources of one repository or a single repository by name instead of everything on the machine.
Since DSC 3.3.0, export receives the filter instance on stdin when --input (or properties in a configuration) is given. Both manifests declare "input": "stdin" for export, but the manifest command does not pipe $Input to the script and ExportOperation never reads $stdinput, so the filter is silently discarded and the full list is returned.
dsc resource export -r Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet/PSResourceList --input '{"repositoryName":"PSGallery"}'
dsc resource export -r Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet/Repository --input '{"name":"PSGallery"}'
Expected behavior
The first command returns one PSResourceList instance for PSGallery, whereas the second command returns one Repository instance for PSGallery.
Actual behavior
Both commands return every repository / every resource list on the machine, identical to running export without --input. No warning is emitted.
