unable to lint a limited subset of yaml tags on command line

[DonEstefan]

Summary

running ansible-lint --tags yaml[truthy] should check only "yaml[truthy]" tag. But it checks all "yaml" tags.
I suspect this might be related to #3896

OS / ENVIRONMENT

ansible-lint --version
ansible-lint 25.1.2 using ansible-core:2.16.14 ansible-compat:25.1.2 ruamel-yaml:0.18.6 ruamel-yaml-clib:0.2.8

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. create a file testfile.yml with this content:

first_var: "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv"
second_var: yes

2. check linting for yaml[truthy] tag

$ ansible-lint --tags yaml[truthy] testfile.yml
WARNING  Skipped installing old role dependencies due to running in offline mode.
WARNING  Skipped installing collection dependencies due to running in offline mode.
WARNING  Listing 2 violation(s) that are fatal
yaml[line-length]: Line too long (169 > 160 characters)
testfile.yml:1

yaml[truthy]: Truthy value should be one of [false, true]
testfile.yml:2

Read documentation for instructions on how to ignore specific rule violations.

# Rule Violation Summary

  1 yaml profile:basic tags:formatting,yaml
  1 yaml profile:basic tags:formatting,yaml

Failed: 2 failure(s), 0 warning(s) on 1 files. Last profile that met the validation criteria was 'min'.

Desired Behavior

only yaml[truthy] violations should be returned

Actual Behavior

all yaml violations are returned

@DonEstefan I see you're using an older version of ansible-lint, can you try upgrading to latest and retry?
