Replaces dawidd6/action-send-mail with hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 (tag commit ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7), per the 2026-09-02 ruling (standards spec §5.5/§9, PR hyperpolymath/standards#725). The whole file is replaced with the rsr-template-repo canonical, which — besides the uses: line — restricts the trigger to branch pushes (tag and deletion payloads mislabel Branch:/head_commit), sets timeout-minutes: 5, carries a deliberately per-run concurrency group, and grants only contents: read. How many of those are actual changes here depends on how far this repo's copy had drifted — read the diff, not this list. Dormant gating on vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true' is unchanged. Line 1 SPDX header kept as it was.

Engine: .git-private-farm/scripts/smtp-notify-sweep.sh. Verification for this repo: regime=no-lock changed=.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml, sig=G ca0afc5 canon=543fc1474b54 base=main
(pristine/post = gh actions-lock --no-fix validity before/after; repair = the lock was already invalid before this change and is valid after it.)

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Email notifications now run only for branch pushes, reducing unnecessary alerts.
    • Added safeguards to prevent overlapping notification runs and limit stalled runs to five minutes.
    • Updated the email notification service to improve delivery reliability.

Walkthrough

The push email workflow now targets branch pushes only, assigns each run its own concurrency group, sets a five-minute job timeout, and replaces the mail action with a pinned SMTP notification action.

Changes

Push email notification workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow trigger and run controls
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow now triggers only for branch pushes. Each run uses a unique concurrency group without cancellation.
Notification execution
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The notification job has a five-minute timeout. The workflow uses hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action pinned to v0.2.0. Comments document the re-landing details.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ca0af

Push-email notifications may fail against the configured SMTP provider or send misleading emails when branches are deleted. Confirm SMTP compatibility and exclude deletion events before merging.

🌐 Web query:

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion github.event.deleted head_commit null branches filter

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, a branch deletion triggers the push event [1][2][3]. When this occurs, the push payload includes deleted: true, and the head_commit object is null [2][4]. Additionally, the after SHA is set to all zeros (0000000000000000000000000000000000000000) [4][5]. Because branch deletions are technically pushes, they can trigger workflows that are configured with branch filters (e.g., on: push: branches: ['']) [1][3]. To prevent your workflow from running on these events, you must explicitly filter them out in the jobs using an if condition [5][6][7]. Recommended approach: Add an if condition to your job to check the github.event.deleted context [5][6][8]: jobs: my_job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This will not run on branch deletion." This condition ensures that the job is skipped when the event is a branch deletion [6][7]. Note that standard branch filters in the on configuration do not distinguish between a regular push and a deletion, so this job-level conditional is the most common and effective way to handle the behavior [1][3][9].

Citations:


Exclude deleted branches from the trigger.

Branch deletion triggers push workflows despite branches: ['**']. Such payloads set github.event.deleted to true and head_commit to null. This workflow still runs when enabled and builds the email body from github.event.head_commit.message, so it can send a notification without commit details. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

Add external back-pressure if SMTP or runner limits require it.

push-email-${{ github.run_id }} is unique per run, so separate push events can start SMTP jobs concurrently. If push bursts can exceed provider or runner limits, add a queue or rate limiter and monitor rejected jobs.

Verify the SMTP provider contract before enabling notifications.

If the configured port uses STARTTLS, this step will fail because secure: true selects implicit TLS and the action does not implement STARTTLS. If secrets.SMTP_HOST is smtp.office365.com, authentication will fail because the action supports only AUTH PLAIN. Verify that the SMTP host supports implicit TLS on the configured port and AUTH PLAIN.
