📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push email workflow now runs only for branch pushes. It uses independent concurrency groups, reduced permissions, a five-minute job timeout, and a SHA-256-pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush email workflow
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Push-email notifications may be sent for branch deletions rather than commits, and the new mail action may fail if the configured SMTP service does not support implicit TLS.

GitHub Actions push event branch filter deleted branch github.event.deleted branches filter documentation
💡 Result:
GitHub Actions does not provide a native branch filter for the delete event [1]. When a branch is deleted, the push event is also triggered, but the standard branches or branches-ignore filters in the on.push configuration do not support filtering based on whether a branch was deleted [2][3]. To handle deleted branches in your workflow, you should use the delete event instead of relying on the push event [4]. How to handle deleted branches: 1. Use the delete event: Configure your workflow to trigger on the delete event [4]. on: delete: 2. Filter by ref_type: Within your job, use an if condition to ensure the event was a branch deletion (rather than a tag deletion) [4]. jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: echo "The deleted branch was ${{ github.event.ref }}" Note on the push event: While the push event does trigger when a branch is deleted, the GITHUB_REF variable for that run will point to the repository's default branch, not the branch that was actually deleted [2][4]. Consequently, standard branch filters are not effective for identifying or excluding specific branch deletions [2]. If you must detect deletions via the push event, you would need to inspect the webhook payload (e.g., checking if github.event.deleted is true), though using the delete event as shown above is the standard, recommended approach [5][6][4].

Exclude branch-deletion pushes explicitly.
GitHub also emits a push event when a branch is deleted. branches: ['**'] does not exclude this event. Since the job condition only checks PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED, it can send a notification without a commit payload. Add github.event.deleted != true to the condition and test branch deletion.

Confirm the SMTP service supports implicit TLS.
The pinned action sets secure: true, which selects implicit TLS. If secrets.SMTP_PORT targets a STARTTLS-only service, the step can fail before sending. Confirm that the SMTP service supports implicit TLS, normally on port 465.
