Description
New Issue Checklist
- [V] Updated SwiftLint to the latest version
- [V] I searched for existing GitHub issues
Describe the bug
SwiftLint do not exclude a file provided via stdin event with --force-exclude flag.
Looks like no file exclusion is performed for stdin-provided data:
It would be nice if there is a way to provide a file-path along with the stdin data to participate in unified file exclusion logic according to config as expected.
Environment
- SwiftLint version: 0.46.5
- Installation method: download from releases

Research direction
Start by tracing the --use-stdin and --force-exclude entry points and how stdin-provided data is associated with a file. Determine how a file path can participate in the existing exclusion logic. Done means excluded stdin files are skipped or handled consistently with regular files when both flags are used.
