Trekking pole or freestanding
Trekking pole tents use your hiking poles instead of dedicated tent poles, which saves weight but needs stakes and a decent site. Freestanding tents stand on their own poles, easier on rock and platforms, and usually heavier.

Add any of these to your pack and track base weight, total weight, and cost as you go.
