📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe GitHub Actions workflow now sends notifications for branch pushes only. Each run has an independent concurrency group. The notification job has a five-minute timeout and uses a SHA-256-pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush email notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This workflow can send malformed or non-commit emails when branches are deleted, and notifications may fail if the configured SMTP server does not support AUTH PLAIN. Exclude deletion events and confirm SMTP authentication compatibility before merging. Suggested reviewers: Poem

GitHub push webhook payload deleted branch head_commit null documentation
💡 Result:
In the GitHub push webhook event, the head_commit field will be null when a branch or tag is deleted [1][2][3]. When a branch or tag deletion occurs, the deleted boolean field in the webhook payload is set to true, and the after SHA is set to a string of zeros (e.g., 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000) [1][4][3]. Because no valid commit exists at the "after" state of a deletion, the head_commit object is null [1][4]. If your application logic processes push webhooks, it is essential to check the deleted field before attempting to access properties within the head_commit object to avoid null pointer exceptions or processing errors [4]. Summary of relevant payload fields for deletions: - deleted: true [1][3] - after: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 [4] - head_commit: null [1][3]

Exclude branch-deletion events.
branches: ['**'] does not exclude branch deletion events. GitHub sets github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null; this workflow still invokes the SMTP action and may send a non-commit notification. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition and test a branch deletion.

Confirm SMTP authentication compatibility before enabling the workflow.
The pinned action supports AUTH PLAIN only. An SMTP server that does not advertise AUTH PLAIN can reject SMTP_USER and SMTP_PASS, causing the step to fail. Confirm that SMTP_HOST accepts AUTH PLAIN with these credentials.
