f5 unmasks the Kings protection from checks along the h5-e8 diagonal, even if no check exists for the moment. h6 not only does not expose the King but also stops a piece from hitting at g5 (e.g. Ng5 or Bg5) somewhere down the road.
What is the best move here for black?

if you play f5 king' diagonal will be weak but if your opponent play the move en passant you can develop your knight
Computer says it's h6 instead of f5 for the black, but I do not see why. Could someone explain this to me and also what would they recommend? Also this is my first post here, so let me know if there is a more efficient way to sare my board. Thanks!
