issues.exclude-dirs Not skipping directory

[carringtonk]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've read the typecheck section of the FAQ.
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.).
• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

Description of the problem

Myself and others on my team have run golangci-lint with issues.exclude-files, issues.exclude-dirs, issues.exclude, issues.exclude-rules, and many other configurations with the generated files path addressed, but the gen/ folder is still being linted and failing, even though the files within them are currently standalone.
From my read of the docs, these files should be skipped with the default exclude-generated tag being lax and with // Code generated by protoc-gen-connect-go. DO NOT EDIT. at the top of the file.
Nonetheless, the files are not being skipped and yielding the outputs below.
This problem did not exist on an instance of v1.54.

This is a private repo, so we'll reach out to our protobuf partners to see if this has been solved. Thanks!
