Issue #29095: Highlighted enemies effect from berry mentats doesn't benefit from chemist perk

 
DetectLifeChem "Highlight living targets" [MGEF:00225178]

this effect is granted by consuming berry mentats, but it doesn't benefit from the chemist perk, so the duration of the effect is the same with or without the perk. Considering this effect comes from a chem, it should be making use of the chemist perk.

I stumbled upon this bug as well, while perusing the wiki.

This is what it has to say about the bug:

"The enemy highlighting effect lacks the correct keyword to be identified as a chem effect, so is unaffected by Chemist and BioCommMesh"

The effect in question is:
DetectLifeChem "Highlight living targets" [MGEF:00225178]

it is missing the keyword:
ChemEffect [KYWD:0004D897]

that other chem effects (including the FortifyIntelligenceMentats "Mentats: Fortify Intelligence" [MGEF:002466F8] effect on Berry Mentats) have.

The effect seems not shared with other item or perk effects, so i see no reason, why it could not have the keyword.
