wrong puzzle #kg4pZ

#1
Today, this puzzle appeared on CM @beto_betun 's Twitch live broadcast: lichess.org/training/kg4pZ
Black's second move 2 ...Ra4 is wrong, because according to the endgame lichess database the position is a draw with move 2 ...Ra5.
Also I myself analyzed the position with stockfish 14 NNUE up to a depth of 50 and the evaluation is +0.3 with the move Ra5.

There are no wrong moves in the puzzle.

The initial position of the puzzle is a draw and not a win as it ought to be.

That's why the puzzle is wrong.

@StingerPuzzles I think the solution to that would be to have the aim of the puzzle shown. Normally it's "white/black to move and win", this is the first one I've seen which would be "move and draw", considering that IMO it is a good puzzle because there is still a "correct" move to be found, it just doesn't lead to a win as normally happens.

You are absolutely true.
@thibault and other devs/mods, see this guy has found a flaw in the puzzle.
Here, in the puzzle White is winning. But the Lichess computer forces a drawn variation from there even though it's completely winning for White. But it's not over as it does mistake on mistake as after Ng6 Ra1 Nxf4 the Lichess computer (Black) responds with Ra4 which is losing for Black (tablebase) instead Black should play Ra5 which is a tablebase draw.

Actually, first flaw is that computer forces to play Nxf4 which is a draw but the position just before move is winning as Stockfish provides variation after leaving it analysing the position for half an hour.
Secondly, after forcing a draw variation, the computer plays blunder that loses for Black.

Interesting puzzle anyway. But I would like to know how @StefanySofia2003 knew about this issue in my streaming (I assume somebody reported the situation). Thanks for watching anyway ! :)
