Dbt Docs generate command with select models does not honour exclusions

I run the below dbt docs generate command in order to get the catalog.json/manifest.json file so that I can export that to DataHub. I am trying to exclude some of the models using the code below, but it does not exclude the models and stills looks for it while running the command. Could you please advise how best to fix it?

I am running with DBT core 1.9.4. The below is the GitHub action.

```

dbt --quiet ls \

--select "path:models" \
"${EXCLUDE_ARGS[@]}" \
--output json \
| jq -r 'select(.name != null) | .name'
)

if [ ${#SELECTORS[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
echo "No models selected for dbt docs generation."
exit 1
fi
