chore(ci): repoint push-email-notify to smtp-notify-action - #68
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 now triggers only for branch pushes, keeps concurrent runs, limits execution to five minutes, uses read-only contents access, and sends notifications through the pinned ChangesPush email notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Push notifications may send incomplete messages for deleted branches, and email delivery may fail if the configured SMTP endpoint does not support the replacement action's transport and authentication requirements. These are bounded notification-workflow risks that should be addressed or confirmed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion branches filter github.event.deleted head_commit null documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, a branch deletion triggers a push event [1][2]. When this occurs, the push event payload includes deleted: true [2][3], and the head_commit field is set to null [3]. Because the branch no longer exists at the time the workflow runs, default environment variables like GITHUB_SHA or GITHUB_REF may point to the repository's default branch instead of the branch that was deleted [4][5][6][7]. To handle this behavior, common practices include: 1. Filtering out deletions: If you want your workflow to ignore branch deletions, you can use a conditional check in your job or step [8][9][10]: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 2. Detecting branch deletion: If you need to perform cleanup tasks (such as removing temporary deployments) specifically when a branch is deleted, you can verify the deletion status [1][11]: if: ${{ github.event.deleted }} 3. Accessing the deleted branch name: If you specifically need to respond to a branch deletion, using the delete event is often more reliable than the push event [6][2]. Unlike the push event, the delete event provides the deleted reference name directly in the context [6][7]: on: delete jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Branch deleted: ${{ github.event.ref }}" Note that github.event.ref in a delete event contains the name of the branch directly (e.g., my-feature-branch), whereas in other contexts, branch references often include the refs/heads/ prefix [7].

Exclude deleted branch pushes before sending mail.
If github.event.deleted is true, github.event.head_commit is null. The enabled job can therefore send a notification without a head-commit message. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

Confirm SMTP endpoint compatibility before merging.
The workflow passes external SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT values to hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7 with secure: true. The action requires implicit TLS and AUTH PLAIN. If the endpoint requires STARTTLS or another authentication mechanism, this job can fail.
