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 workflow now triggers only for branch pushes, prevents per-run cancellation or queuing, limits the notification job to five minutes, and sends mail through a SHA-pinned SMTP action. ChangesPush email notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The mail notification workflow may fail to deliver after the action migration if the configured SMTP endpoint is incompatible, and branch deletions can produce malformed or failed notifications. Confirm the SMTP configuration and exclude deleted push events before merging. Poem

GitHub Actions push event branches filter branch deletion deleted true head_commit null official documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered not only by pushes of commits or tags but also when a branch is deleted [1][2]. When a branch is deleted, the push event payload reflects this activity, and the head_commit attribute is typically null because there is no "head" commit associated with the deletion event itself [2][3][4]. Regarding branch filters (on.push.branches), GitHub's documentation specifies that filters control which events trigger the workflow [5][6]. When a branch is deleted, the push event behaves according to the repository's configuration. Because branch deletion is a form of push event, if you have branch filters defined, the workflow will only trigger if the deleted branch name matches your branches or branches-ignore patterns [6][7]. To handle or ignore branch deletions within your workflow, you can inspect the event payload context. The github.event object provides the deleted boolean property, which is set to true when the push event represents a branch deletion [2][3]. Common strategies to manage this behavior include: 1. Using conditional logic (the if keyword) in your workflow jobs to explicitly skip runs when a deletion occurs: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 2. If you specifically need to respond to deletions, you should generally use the delete event type instead of the push event, as it is designed specifically for this activity [2]. The delete event payload contains the name of the deleted ref (branch or tag) via github.event.ref [8]. If you rely on the push event for your workflow, be aware that the head_commit attribute being null is expected during deletion, and attempting to access fields within head_commit without checking if it is null will cause your workflow to fail [9][4]. Always ensure your conditional expressions safely handle the structure of the event payload [1].

Exclude deleted branch refs explicitly.
branches: ['**'] also matches a deleted branch ref. The job can then run with github.event.deleted == true and no head_commit. Add github.event.deleted == false to the job condition.

Use an empty token permission set for this mail-only job.
The workflow does not check out repository contents or call the GitHub API. If no other step needs GITHUB_TOKEN, set permissions: {} to avoid granting the SMTP action repository-read access.

Verify the SMTP endpoint before switching actions.
The action uses implicit TLS when secure: true and supports only AUTH PLAIN. It does not support STARTTLS or Microsoft 365. Confirm that secrets.SMTP_HOST and secrets.SMTP_PORT identify a compatible implicit-TLS endpoint, normally port 465, before merging.
