GitHub Actions workflow concurrency default multiple jobs runs can run concurrently official documentation

💡 Result:

By default, GitHub Actions allows multiple jobs within the same workflow, multiple workflow runs within the same repository, and multiple workflow runs across an account to execute concurrently [1][2]. There is no restriction on concurrent execution unless you explicitly configure it [1][2]. To restrict concurrency, you use the concurrency keyword [1][3]. When you define a concurrency group, GitHub Actions ensures that only one job or workflow run within that group is active at a time [2][4]. Key behaviors when using the concurrency keyword include: 1. Pending State: If a job or workflow is queued while another in the same concurrency group is already running, the new job or workflow will enter a pending state [2][3]. 2. Cancellation: By default, if a new job or workflow is triggered for a group that already has a pending run, the existing pending run is canceled and replaced by the new one [2][4]. 3. Queuing (Opt-in): You can change this behavior by setting queue: max within your concurrency configuration. This allows up to 100 jobs or workflows to wait in a queue to execute sequentially instead of being canceled [2][4]. 4. Scope: Concurrency can be applied at the workflow level (top of the YAML file) or the job level (inside a specific job) [5]. In summary, concurrency is effectively "disabled" by default (allowing unlimited simultaneous runs), and you must explicitly define a concurrency group if you wish to limit or serialize the execution of your jobs or workflows [1][2].

Define a policy for notification bursts.

With PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED set to true, branches: ['**'] starts the notify job for each branch push. Without a concurrency policy, these runs can execute concurrently; timeout-minutes: 5 limits each job but does not rate-limit email delivery. If every push does not require an email, add explicit concurrency or rate control.

GitHub Actions push event deleted branch branches filter branches ['**'] head_commit null

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered not only when commits are pushed but also when a branch is deleted [1][2][3]. When a branch is deleted, the push event payload includes "deleted": true, and the head_commit field is set to null because there is no head commit remaining on that deleted reference [1][2][4]. If your workflow uses a branch filter (such as branches: ['']), it will still trigger on a branch deletion if that branch matches the filter criteria, because the deletion event is technically a type of push event [5][1][3]. Since head_commit is null in this scenario, any workflow steps or expressions that attempt to access github.event.head_commit will fail or cause errors (e.g., TypeError: Cannot access member...) [4][6]. To handle this behavior, you can use the following methods: 1. Conditional Job Execution: Use an if condition to skip jobs when a branch is deleted [3]. if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 2. Filter at the Step Level: Use an if condition on specific steps that depend on the commit object [7]. if: ${{ github.event.head_commit!= null }} 3. Use the delete event: If you specifically need to handle branch deletions, use the delete event trigger instead of overloading the push event [1][3]. This event provides specific information about the deleted ref (e.g., github.event.ref) without the ambiguity of the push event payload [3]. Note that using branches: [''] includes all branches, so the workflow will respond to deletions of any branch matching your configuration [8][9]. If you intend to ignore deletions entirely, checking github.event.deleted in a job-level if conditional is the standard approach [3].

Citations:


Exclude branch-deletion push events. branches: ['**'] matches deleted branch refs, so notify runs when PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is 'true' even though github.event.head_commit is null. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

Remove the unnecessary repository permission.

This workflow only invokes the SMTP action. It does not check out repository contents or call GitHub APIs. contents: read gives the third-party action a read-capable GITHUB_TOKEN without a functional need. GitHub supports permissions: {} to disable all token permissions. (docs.github.com)

hyperpolymath smtp-notify-action 1b3b752d39a4fe4c0f28f10905e4608789d3e050 action.yml secure STARTTLS SMTP_PORT

💡 Result:

The term smtp-notify-action does not refer to a unique, standalone software project, but rather identifies a pattern of workflow automation used within the hyperpolymath GitHub organization [1][2][3][4][5]. Repositories in this organization typically contain a.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml file that utilizes the third-party GitHub Action dawidd6/action-send-mail to send notifications upon code pushes [1][2][3][4][5]. Regarding the technical parameters requested: - secure: When using dawidd6/action-send-mail (often utilized in these workflows), the secure parameter is typically set to true [1][2][3][4][5]. In the context of SMTP, this generally indicates that the connection should use TLS/SSL [6][7][8]. - STARTTLS vs. Direct TLS: The behavior of the secure parameter often depends on the SMTP port chosen [8]. For example, a secure: true setting with port 465 typically initiates a direct TLS connection, whereas port 587 is commonly used with STARTTLS [8]. - SMTP_PORT: This value is retrieved from GitHub Secrets (secrets.SMTP_PORT) in the hyperpolymath workflows [1][2][3][4][5]. The specific port number is not hardcoded in the repository workflows themselves, as it is intended to be provided by the organization's secret configuration [1][2][3][4][5]. The specific hash 1b3b752d39a4fe4c0f28f10905e4608789d3e050 corresponds to a specific commit version of the dawidd6/action-send-mail action used in the hyperpolymath/volumod repository [1]. Because this is a pinned version of a third-party action, refer to the documentation for dawidd6/action-send-mail for precise implementation details regarding how it handles the secure flag and STARTTLS handshakes [1].

Use an implicit-TLS SMTP endpoint. The pinned action passes secure: true and uses implicit TLS from the first byte. It does not support STARTTLS. If SMTP_PORT is 587 for a STARTTLS endpoint, delivery can fail. Set SMTP_PORT to 465, or use an action that supports STARTTLS.
