scoring is documented as accepting str/callable, but _fit assumes a metric object with .name and .get_tag() (used for scoring_name and ranking). Passing a callable or string will raise at runtime. Consider coercing/validating self.scoring to a BaseMetric (or raising a clear ValueError if unsupported) so the implementation matches the documented API.

Suggested change
scoring = CRPS()
scoring = CRPS()
# validate scoring: BaseGridSearch requires a metric-like object
# with at least a ``name`` attribute and ``get_tag`` method for
# result naming and ranking. Passing a bare string or callable will
# otherwise fail at runtime.
if not (hasattr(scoring, "name") and hasattr(scoring, "get_tag")):
raise ValueError(
f"'scoring' must be a metric-like object with 'name' and "
f"'get_tag' attributes when used with {self.__class__.__name__}. "
"Passing strings or generic callables is not supported "
"in this tuner; please pass a metric object instead."

Please add a small regression test that instantiates RandomizedSearchCV(..., backend="threading"/"loky") and asserts the attribute is set and used (e.g., by checking no error and that backend is forwarded into parallelize via a simple fit). This prevents future regressions of the documented backend parameter support.
