   @nickzoic what exactly is needed to enable this? Do we need a different testing setup or is it just something that needs to be configured better within Actions?

   OK so I went on a bit of a mission to see if this was supportable.
   Github Actions now support windows-11-arm and macos-latest test runners.
   However neither of these seem happy to build Scipy / Numpy so we'd have to carefully pick versions which have wheels for those. And those versions would have to be compatible with Python 3.10 to maintain support for that.

   However:

   • Numpy is only used for the python and score plugins
   • Scipy is only used for the score plugin, and then only for curve fitting

   The Python plugin is not currently in use.
   The Scoring plugin is using curve_fit for linear interpolation which doesn't need the might of scipy.

   Perhaps it would be a good idea to back those out to avoid any binary wheels in the core countess install?
