# new repos from the template; placed on existing repos by the farm sweep.

# Re-landed after the 2026-07-20 notification-storm freeze (removed in
# 09f94c5), now on hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action: Node-free, the SMTP
# session is Idris2-specified and machine-checked, the binary is Zig-built,
# byte-reproducible, and SHA-256-pinned inside the action itself.

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.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the workflow job
condition to require github.event.deleted != true, preventing branch-deletion
events from invoking the SMTP notification action; preserve the existing
conditions for normal push events and add or update coverage for a
deleted-branch event.

concurrency:
# Deliberately per-RUN, so no run is ever queued behind another and none is
# ever cancelled. Do NOT "tidy" this into a shared group such as
# ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}. GitHub's workflow-syntax docs:
# "By default, any existing pending job or workflow in the same concurrency
# group will be canceled and the new queued job or workflow will take its
# place." That happens regardless of cancel-in-progress, which governs only
# the RUNNING job. On this workflow it silently loses a notification email,
# with no error anywhere. Every run here reports a DISTINCT commit, so there
# is no redundant work for a concurrency limit to remove.
# The docs also offer `queue: max` (up to 100 pending); not used, because 100
# is still a cap whereas a per-run group needs none.
# Verified with zizmor 1.30.0: deleting this block raises concurrency-limits;
# this form silences it exactly as a shared group would.

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.
