Can I constrain brush softness to the actual size of the brush?

When I choose a brush hardness of 0 (maximum softness), the feathering extends beyond the brush's displayed radius. How can I constrain it so that it is fully contained within the size I have set for the brush?

 

As you can see in the attached video, as I paint with a hardness of 0, the paint exceeds the brush size by at least 50%. I'd like to constrain it to the size of the brush, so that all of the feathering lives inside the brush's border.

 

Is that possible?

Did you try to change settings of Cursors Preferences? 
Choosing "Full Size Brush Tip" option should do what you want.

In Photoshop go Photoshop 2024>Settings>Cursors>Painting Cursors and check Full Size Brush Tip

    Right now, when you choose a brush hardness of 0 (maximum softness), the feathering extends beyond the brush's displayed radius. I need to be able to constrain it so that it is fully contained within the size I have set for the brush.
