Conversation
Replaces dawidd6/action-send-mail with hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 (ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7) per the 2026-09-02 ruling; file is the rsr-template-repo canonical (dormant gating on vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED unchanged). regime=no-lock changed=.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml, Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push email workflow is re-enabled with branch-only triggers, per-run concurrency, a five-minute job timeout, and a pinned ChangesPush email notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Push-email notifications may send incomplete messages when branches are deleted, and the new SMTP action may fail to deliver mail if the configured server uses STARTTLS rather than implicit TLS. Resolve the deletion guard and confirm the SMTP endpoint before merging. Poem

github.event.deleted != true, preventing execution for branch-deletion push
events while preserving notifications for normal pushes.
- Line 42: Update the SMTP notification job’s endpoint configuration for the
hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action step so SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT target an
implicit-TLS service, normally port 465, with AUTH PLAIN support; if the
configured service only supports STARTTLS, replace or retain an action that
supports STARTTLS instead.

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion branches filter head_commit null workflow syntax
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered when a branch is deleted [1][2]. During a branch deletion, the push event payload is sent with specific indicators: deleted is set to true [3], and head_commit is null [3]. When configuring workflows, branch filters (such as branches or branches-ignore under on: push:) are evaluated against the branch that was deleted [4]. If a workflow is configured to run on a push to a specific branch, it may still be triggered if that branch is deleted, because the event is technically a push event affecting that reference [2]. To prevent a workflow from running specifically when a branch is deleted, or to handle the head_commit: null state, you can use conditional job execution in your workflow YAML [5]: jobs: my_job: if: ${{ github.event.deleted!= true }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." Alternatively, if you need to react explicitly to branch deletions, use the delete event instead of push [1]. Note that the delete event workflow must exist on the default branch of the repository to be triggered [4][6]. You can filter delete events by branch name using the github.event.ref property within a conditional: on: delete: jobs: on-delete: if: ${{ github.event.ref_type == 'branch' && startsWith(github.event.ref, 'feature/') }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted."

Exclude deleted branches from the notification job.
branches: ['**'] can match a branch-deletion push event. GitHub sets github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null, so the workflow can send an incomplete email. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition.

Use an SMTP endpoint compatible with this action.
If SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT identify a STARTTLS service, this job will fail because secure: true selects implicit TLS and STARTTLS is not implemented. Confirm that the endpoint uses implicit TLS, normally on port 465, and supports AUTH PLAIN; otherwise retain an action that supports STARTTLS.
