It is not clear to me that white could not push black into some zugzwang that
force black to trade pawns.

Maybe in the final position white does not have enough moves to do it but I
would like to understand some logical proof that black can draw.

Note that I also need a proof that white cannot sacrifice the f pawn and improve
the position and later win the pawn e5.

I am not convinced that the final position is objectively drawn(it may be a draw
or a win for white and I simply do not claim to know).
