Replaces dawidd6/action-send-mail with hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.1.0 (tag commit 1b3b752d39a4fe4c0f28f10905e4608789d3e050), per the 2026-09-02 ruling (standards spec §5.5/§9, PR hyperpolymath/standards#725). The whole file is the rsr-template-repo canonical, so besides the uses: line it also: limits the trigger to branch pushes (tag/deletion payloads mislabel Branch:), drops actions: read (unused), and adds timeout-minutes: 5. 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 a26c417 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.)

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated push email notifications to use a more reliable delivery mechanism.
    • Notifications now run only for branch pushes, preventing messages for tag or branch deletion events.
    • Added a five-minute execution limit to notification jobs.
    • The workflow remains inactive unless explicitly enabled through the repository configuration.

Walkthrough

The push-email workflow now runs for branch pushes only. The notification job has a five-minute timeout and uses a SHA-256-pinned SMTP notification action. The workflow remains controlled by PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED.

Changes

Push email notification workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update push notification workflow
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow now targets branch pushes, limits the job to five minutes, uses hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action, and documents the re-landing.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a26c4

This change replaces the email notification action and adjusts workflow triggering, but deleted-branch events may still generate incomplete emails and SMTP port 587 configurations may fail because STARTTLS is unsupported; enabled notifications can also run concurrently. Merge readiness therefore requires resolving or explicitly accepting these bounded reliability risks.

A rabbit checks the branch at dawn
The SMTP path now carries on
Five minutes marks the working time
A pinned action keeps the line
Push mail hops through code so fine

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion branches filter github.event.deleted head_commit null documentation

💡 Result:

When a branch is deleted on GitHub, the push event is triggered [1][2][3], which can cause workflows configured for push events to execute unexpectedly [4][5][3]. During such a push event, the branch no longer exists, and the head_commit object in the webhook payload is null [2][6][3]. To manage this behavior in GitHub Actions, you can filter these events using the conditional if syntax in your workflow job or step [1][7]. Key points for handling branch deletions: 1. Identification: When a push event is triggered by a branch deletion, the payload includes "deleted": true [2][5]. You can check this in your workflow using github.event.deleted [1]. 2. Filtering: You can prevent a job from running on branch deletions by adding a condition to your job [1]: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 3. Explicit Handling: If you specifically need to perform actions when a branch is deleted (e.g., cleaning up resources), it is recommended to use the delete event rather than the push event [7]. The delete event provides specific context about the deleted ref [8][7]. You can filter these events using: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "The deleted branch was ${{ github.event.ref }}" Note that for the delete event, github.ref points to the default branch of the repository, so you must use ${{ github.event.ref }} to access the name of the deleted branch [8][7]. Additionally, workflow files for these events must exist on the default branch to trigger correctly [9].

Citations:


Exclude deleted branch events from the job.

A branch deletion can trigger this push workflow. The event sets github.event.deleted to true and can set github.event.head_commit to null, which can produce an incomplete email. Add github.event.deleted == false to the job condition.

🌐 Web query:

GitHub Actions workflow concurrency default runs concurrently unless concurrency specified official documentation

💡 Result:

Yes, by default, GitHub Actions workflows and jobs run concurrently [1][2]. Unless the concurrency keyword is explicitly specified in your workflow configuration, multiple instances of the same workflow or job can execute simultaneously [2]. The concurrency keyword is an optional configuration used to restrict this behavior [1][2]. When you define a concurrency group, GitHub Actions ensures that only one workflow or job within that group runs at a time [1][3]. If a new run starts while another with the same concurrency group is already in progress, the new run is typically marked as pending; by default, any existing pending run in that group will be canceled, and the new run will take its place [1][2]. In summary, GitHub Actions operates under a default policy of concurrent execution [1][2]. Explicit configuration is required to limit, queue, or cancel previous workflow runs [2].

Citations:


Add concurrency or rate control for notification jobs.

When PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true, each branch push starts the notify job and sends an SMTP notification. Without a concurrency group, these workflow runs can execute in parallel. Add a suitable concurrency group or queue delivery to limit parallel notification jobs.

Use a STARTTLS-compatible action for port 587.

The pinned hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action uses implicit TLS when secure: true and does not support STARTTLS. If secrets.SMTP_PORT is 587, this configuration can fail. Set it to 465 or use an action that supports STARTTLS.
