Hardened + Scene Partner not working as expected

Cynicist

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Hardened and Scene Partner dont work as expected

PLATFORM: PC

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:

Have Hardened Active (cleanse a totem, open a chest)

Be in killers terror radius, looking at killer

Scene partner does not make you scream - This is expected, as hardened prevents you from screaming.

Scene partner does not go on cooldown when looking at the killer - This is unexpected. Hardened is preventing you from screaming, but the perk should still go on cooldown.

Hardened does not reveal the killer's aura, even though it appears to be blocking a scream.

To be clear, here is Hardened's Description:

When you open a Chest and cleanse or bless a Totem, Hardened activates for the duration of the Trial. From that point, every time you scream, you’ll instead reveal the Killer’s Aura.

So hardened is blocking you from screaming with Scene partner (intended), scene partner does not go on cooldown, (unexpected), but you are then not getting an aura read from hardened (unexpected).

When I reported this when this perk combo came out, I was told that this is not a bug. You do not scream, therefore, you do not see the aura.
