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 ce38c57 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.)

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Push-triggered email notifications have been restored for branch updates.
    • Notification runs now complete independently without cancelling or queuing other runs.
    • Notification processing has a five-minute time limit to prevent stalled runs.
    • The email notification service has been updated for improved reliability.

Walkthrough

The push-email workflow now runs only for branch pushes. Each run has an independent concurrency group. The notify job has a five-minute timeout and uses the SHA-256-pinned hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action.

Branch deletions can trigger a push-email notification without commit details, resulting in misleading or incomplete notification emails. Exclude deleted push events before merging.

Poem

A rabbit saw branches hop,
Each run kept its own small slot.
SMTP sent mail on time,
Pinned by hash in careful rhyme.
Five minutes watched the clock.

GitHub Actions push event branch filters deleted branch payload deleted true head_commit null

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, deleting a branch triggers a push event payload that includes the property deleted: true [1][2][3]. Key characteristics of this event: 1. Payload Structure: The push event payload for a deleted branch includes a deleted boolean set to true [1][3]. Because the branch has been removed, the head_commit object in this payload is typically null [1][3]. 2. Workflow Behavior: When a branch is deleted, the push event is still sent to GitHub Actions, which can trigger any workflow configured to listen for the push event on that branch [4][5][6]. Because the SHA of the pushed ref no longer exists, the GITHUB_SHA in the resulting workflow run reverts to the last commit on the repository's default branch [4][5]. 3. Handling Deletions: If you want to distinguish branch deletions from regular code pushes in your workflow, you can inspect the payload within a conditional check. For example: if: ${{ github.event.deleted == true }} If you specifically want to react to branch deletions, using the delete event is often more appropriate than relying on the push event, as the delete event is explicitly designed for this purpose and provides clearer context via the ref and ref_type properties [7][6].

Exclude deleted branch pushes.

push.branches: ['**'] also matches branch-deletion push events. When github.event.deleted is true, head_commit is null, so the enabled notify job can send an email without a commit message. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition.

Set SMTP_PORT to an implicit-TLS port.

The pinned action uses implicit TLS for secure: true and does not implement STARTTLS. Set secrets.SMTP_PORT to 465, or configure SMTP_HOST to provide implicit TLS on the selected port.
