Review

Before you mark your PR as ready for review, please ensure that you've considered the following:

• Updated the CHANGELOG.md in reverse chronological order (newest at the top) with a concise description of the changes, including the PR number.
• Noted any breaking changes, including details on how it might impact existing functionality.

Type of change

• New Feature: A non-breaking change that adds new functionality.
• Optimization: A code change that improves performance.
• Examples: A change to existing or additional examples.
• Bug Fix: A non-breaking change that addresses an issue.
• Documentation: Updates to documentation or new documentation for new features.
• Refactoring: Non-functional changes that improve the codebase.
• Style: Non-functional changes related to code style (formatting, naming, etc).
• Testing: Additional tests to improve coverage or confirm functionality.
• Other: (Insert description of change)

Key checklist:

• No style issues: $ pre-commit run (or $ nox -s pre-commit) (see CONTRIBUTING.md for how to set this up to run automatically when committing locally, in just two lines of code)
• All unit tests pass: $ nox -s tests
• The documentation builds: $ nox -s doctest

You can run integration tests, unit tests, and doctests together at once, using $ nox -s quick.

Further checks:

• Code is well-commented, especially in complex or unclear areas.
• Added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works.
• Checked that coverage remains or improves, and added tests if necessary to maintain or increase coverage.

The patch coverage for this PR has decreased because we don't have a direct test for the SciPyMinimize cost_wrapper() method. In its current state, this method is difficult to unit test, which is why I suspect we haven't added a unit test. Since #255 refactors these classes and will make it easier to test this function directly with a few small changes, I believe this PR can proceed as is, with a follow-on PR to add these tests once #255 is merged depending on which is merged first.

Just noticed that this PR fixes the scheduled tests, too. If you feel that this can take time for reviewing and merging, I wish to point towards #308, which fixes them as well.

Thanks, @BradyPlanden! The difference in the test suite completion time seems to be noticeable. Could you add a CHANGELOG entry as well?
