contents A relativistic mean-field model with a crossing term of isovector-scalar and isoscalar mesons, the Cracow crossing terms (CCT) model, has previously been shown to be capable of explaining the light and compact object HESS J1731-347. Here, the model is supplemented with a correct treatment of the phase transition. Applying the thermodynamically consistent Gibbs conditions shows that a mixed-phase system occurs in the core of the neutron star over a wide range of densities, extending up to the neutron star crust, leading to an intriguing stellar structure with a thick and massive crust.
