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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores

    • Updated push notification workflow behaviour, including explicit branch targeting, run time limits, and improved handling of concurrent runs.
    • Updated the email notification mechanism and tightened workflow permissions.
  • Documentation

    • Added documentation explaining the workflow’s activation status and email notification setup.

Walkthrough

The workflow now runs for branch pushes, preserves concurrent notification runs, applies a five-minute timeout, and sends notifications through a pinned SMTP action.

Changes

Push email notifications

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow activation and run scheduling
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow documents activation requirements, targets branch pushes, and uses non-cancelling per-run concurrency.
SMTP notification execution
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow removes actions: read, sets a five-minute timeout, and uses hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@v0.2.0.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7bd1c

Push notifications can send incomplete messages for deleted branches, and a future retag of the SMTP action could change the code executed by this workflow. Add the deletion guard and reference the action by its commit SHA before merging.

Poem

A rabbit checks the branch at dawn
SMTP carries messages on
Runs wait safely, none are slain
Five short minutes guard the chain
A pinned action hops through rain

GitHub Actions workflow syntax push branches branch deletion events do branch filters match deleted branches

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, branch filters (such as on.push.branches) do not effectively match or filter branch deletion events in the way they do for standard push events. When a branch is deleted, the push event is technically triggered [1], but the GITHUB_REF in the resulting workflow run defaults to the repository's default branch rather than the branch being deleted [2][3]. Consequently, standard branch filtering mechanisms often fail to behave as expected for deletions, or they match the default branch instead of the branch that was actually deleted [1]. To specifically react to or filter by the name of a deleted branch, you should use the delete event instead of the push event [3][1]. The delete event payload contains the specific name of the branch that was removed, which you can access via the github.event.ref context variable [3][4]. If you need to limit your workflow to only act when specific branches are deleted, you can use a conditional if expression at the job or step level: yaml on: delete jobs: filter-delete: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' && startsWith(github.event.ref, 'releases/') runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Handle deletion run: echo "The branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted." In this example, the if condition checks that the deleted entity was a branch and matches the desired naming pattern, providing the precise control that standard branch filters in the on configuration do not offer for this specific event type [3][1].

Citations:


🌐 Web query:

site:docs.github.com/en/actions "For a deleted branch" "GITHUB_REF" push event

💡 Result:

In the context of a GitHub Actions push event involving a branch deletion, the GITHUB_REF variable does not represent the deleted branch [1]. When a branch is deleted, the push event's GITHUB_REF (and associated GITHUB_SHA) reverts to the repository's default branch [1]. Consequently, if you are attempting to trigger or identify a workflow run specifically for the deletion of a branch, you should use the delete event rather than the push event [1]. The push event is fundamentally intended for updates to existing references or the creation of new ones, and it does not inherently capture the deletion action in the GITHUB_REF variable [1]. For workflows tracking branch deletions, the delete event is the authoritative trigger [1]. When using this event, you can access the deleted reference information through the webhook payload [1].

Citations:


🌐 Web query:

site:docs.github.com/en/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads push deleted head_commit null

💡 Result:

For a GitHub push webhook, head_commit is documented as object or null. When a branch or tag is deleted, the payload sets deleted: true; therefore, handle head_commit as potentially null rather than dereferencing it unconditionally. (docs.github.com)

GitHub recommends using the separate delete webhook event when you only need branch/tag deletion notifications. (docs.github.com)

Citations:


Add a deletion guard before sending the notification. branches: ['**'] does not exclude branch-deletion push payloads. When github.event.deleted is true, github.event.head_commit can be null, which produces an incomplete notification. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition.

Reference the action by its immutable commit SHA.

The v0.2.0 tag currently resolves to ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7, but GitHub Actions consumes the mutable tag from uses. Use the full commit SHA to prevent future tag changes from altering the action code.

Confirm secrets.SMTP_PORT before merging.

If the value is 587, secure: true uses implicit TLS and the notification can fail against a server that requires STARTTLS. Set the port to 465, or use an action that supports STARTTLS.
