Uniform gas-pressure fraction and constant-luminosity radiative-envelope incompatibility ($\beta ,\kappa \text{ constant}⟹L_r/m=4\pi cG(1-\beta )/\kappa$)

For a radiative envelope, $d{P}_{\mathrm{rad}}/dP=\kappa L_r/(4\pi cGm)$. Exactly uniform stellar gas-pressure fraction instead requires this derivative to be $1-\beta$. Constant opacity therefore requires $L_r$ to increase in proportion to enclosed mass. A positive-density finite-mass envelope with no local energy generation has constant $L_r$ and cannot satisfy all these conditions pointwise. The Eddington-model convective-core mass fraction uses constant $\beta$ as a global approximation, rather than an exact detailed envelope constraint.
