# PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED=true (the single on/off switch). Addresses are pre-filled;

# 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.

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.

🌐 Web query:

GitHub Actions push event deleted branch head_commit null workflow syntax branches filter

💡 Result:

When a Git branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event with the deleted flag set to true in the webhook payload [1][2][3]. In this scenario, the head_commit property in the payload is null [1][3]. To handle this in your GitHub Actions workflow, you should be aware of the following technical behaviors: 1. Payload Structure: Because head_commit is null when a branch is deleted, any attempt to access properties like ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }} will fail or cause runtime errors if the workflow is triggered by a branch deletion [4][5]. You should implement conditional checks or use safe access patterns in your workflow logic to account for this [5]. 2. Branches Filter: The branches filter in the workflow syntax (on.push.branches) controls which branch pushes trigger the workflow [6][7]. When a branch is deleted, it is still technically a push event [1]. If your workflow has a branches filter that matches the name of the deleted branch, the workflow will be triggered unless the event payload is explicitly handled [2]. To prevent workflows from running on branch deletions, you can check the deleted status within a job step: jobs: job_name: if: github.event.deleted == false runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." 3. Context Access: If your workflow accesses github.event.head_commit without verifying that the event is a standard push (and not a deletion), you may encounter errors [5]. If you need information about the pushed commits, rely on the commits array in the payload instead of head_commit, but note that this array is also often empty or null during a deletion event [1][3].

Skip deleted branch pushes.

on.push.branches: ['**'] also matches branch-deletion push events. These payloads set github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null, so the job can send an incomplete notification. Add the deletion guard and update the comment at line 14.

Proposed fix 
-    if: ${{ vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true' }}
+    if: ${{ vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true' && github.event.deleted == false }}

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 37, Update the job condition
in the push notification workflow to require github.event.deleted to be false,
while preserving the existing PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED check, and revise the related
comment near the workflow trigger to document that deleted branch pushes are
excluded.
