The code is clear and well-explained, making it easy to follow and understand.
You applied two different approach: one based on simulated annealing and the other on RMHC.
The simulated annealing approach is effective because it allows the algorithm to escape local optima, and provides a better exploration of the search space. I appreciate your use of a multiple tweak function based on a mask.
In the second approach i find your weighted_mutation function particularly interesting because it allows the algorithm to tweak sets based on their costs. Additionally, your algorithm has a self-adaptive strength parameter which enables a dynamic mutations.
These are good ideas that facilitate the algorithm's ability to self-learn and better handle the problem.
One possible improvement could be mixing the two strategies you employed by including your self-adaptive strength into simulated annealing; this could enhance exploration.
I also noticed that you started with an all True solution, which is valid, but starting from a random solution could significantly reduce computational waste and improve efficiency.
