1 to 1 encoding

Description of problem or question
if all i am wanting to do is take an mkv file and burn in subtitles without changing anything else (aka change the quality of the video and/or make the file any bigger or smaller) what are the appropriate settings? Using "same as source" for fps and "auto passthru" for audio... however don't see how to maintain same bitrate.

You can’t, you have to re-encode the video.

Burning in subtitles requires decoding the video, drawing the subtitles on the image, and re-encoding. Makes it hard to do without re-encoding, don't you think?
