• Abstract: Physical human--robot interaction software often couples desired-behavior specification with constrained realization; we treat these as separate layers. A \emph{behavior layer} supplies a desired contact-port acceleration $a_k^{\mathrm{id}}=f_θ(e_k,\dot e_k,F_{h,k})$. A \emph{realization layer} converts it into constrained robot commands and reports total desired-versus-realized acceleration error instead of hiding it in saturation. A same-objective unconstrained counterfactual separates regularization from constraint intervention, while plant data expose model error. This paper implements a receding-horizon quadratic program realizing memoryless affine behaviors. Changing the behavior modifies objective coefficients through $(C_θ,G_θ)$ while the robot-command variable and feasible set remain unchanged. A planar study instantiates impedance and admittance; the same running layer accepts an impedance--admittance--impedance reassignment without reconstruction, under its existing rate limit. On a torque-controlled 7-DOF Franka FR3 in MuJoCo, the runtime freezes task-space dynamics per solve and enforces torque feasibility across its horizon. Under a sustained 20~N push, it holds a slack-relaxed workspace boundary to within approximately 0.1--0.2~mm, versus 4.4~cm (impedance) and 4.7~cm (admittance) overshoot from instantaneous clipping. A derated actuator budget then activates the torque constraint: horizon-wide enforcement keeps its frozen-model plan feasible to $2.1\times10^{-4}$~N$\cdot$m, whereas a first-step-only ablation plans up to 11.329~N$\cdot$m beyond budget; on the executed nonlinear plant, where both share the same local-model error, the gap is smaller but still favors horizon-wide enforcement (0.161 vs.\ 0.380~N$\cdot$m). These results are a focused proof of behavior--realization separation.
