user11144: Base: Queen first, lose (or draw) later
What is the most economical pawn endgame position where Black queens first but White draws, White pawns on rank 3 or 4 on time of Black queening?
(added because well-known stalemate tricks are specific to rank 2, and rank 5 suffices as already shown in the Zinar study)

user14079: A super heavy construction, that certainly can be refined.
From Black's point of view:
[Title "Black to play -- lose"]
[FEN "8/8/6pp/6pk/5P1P/5PPK/p7/8 b - - 0 1"]

1...a1=Q 2.g4#

We can even have all wP on the third rank only:
White to play and win:
[Title "White to play -- win"]
[FEN "8/8/5pp1/3K1kp1/6p1/4PP1P/2p3P1/8 w - - 0 1"]
