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 398ac39f base=main

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Improved automated email notification handling for branch updates.
    • Notifications now have a defined time limit, helping prevent stalled delivery processes.
    • Updated the notification service while retaining existing SMTP settings and message content.

Walkthrough

The push email workflow now targets branch pushes, limits job execution to five minutes, and uses a pinned hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action version. Existing enablement conditions and SMTP settings remain unchanged.

Changes

Push Email Notifications

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow trigger and notification action
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow matches branch pushes, sets a five-minute job timeout, and replaces the mail action with the pinned SMTP notification action. Existing SMTP configuration remains in place.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 398ac

This change routes push notifications through a new SMTP action and narrows event handling, but the current configuration can still notify on deleted branches, grants broader-than-needed repository read access, and may fail against STARTTLS-only SMTP on port 587. These bounded correctness, permission, and integration risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Exclude deleted branches from the job.

The push event includes branch deletions, and head_commit can be null. branches: ['**'] does not exclude deleted branch refs. The job can send a misleading push email with no head message. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition. (docs.github.com)

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

Remove the unused contents permission.

This job does not require repository-content access. contents: read still grants GITHUB_TOKEN read access to a third-party action without a demonstrated need. Set permissions: {} unless another workflow contract requires content reads. GitHub supports this form to disable all token permissions. (docs.github.com)

GitHub Actions workflow concurrency timeout-minutes concurrent workflow runs official documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, concurrency and timeout controls are handled through distinct mechanisms within the workflow syntax. Workflow Concurrency The concurrency keyword allows you to limit the number of concurrent workflow runs or jobs within a specific concurrency group [1][2]. - Definition: You can apply concurrency at either the workflow level or the job level [1][2]. - Behavior: When a new workflow run or job is triggered, GitHub Actions checks for other active runs in the same concurrency group [1][3]. By default, if another run is in progress, the new run is placed in a pending state, and the existing pending run (if any) is canceled [1][2]. - Queuing: You can modify this behavior using the queue property [1][2]. Setting queue: max allows up to 100 jobs or workflow runs to wait in the concurrency group before additional runs are canceled [1][4]. - Cancellation: You can use the cancel-in-progress: true option to automatically cancel currently running jobs or workflows in the same concurrency group when a new one is triggered [3]. Timeout Controls Timeout limits are defined using the timeout-minutes keyword to prevent workflows or jobs from running indefinitely [5]. - Job Timeout: The jobs.<job_id>.timeout-minutes property sets the maximum number of minutes a job can run [5]. The default value is 360 minutes [5]. - Step Timeout: The jobs.<job_id>.steps[*].timeout-minutes property sets the maximum number of minutes an individual step can run [5]. This also has a maximum limit of 360 minutes [5]. - Important Note: These timeouts are subject to the broader execution time limits enforced by GitHub for the specific runner being used [5]. If the timeout-minutes value exceeds the runner's execution limit, the job will be canceled when the runner's limit is reached [5]. These settings are distinct: the concurrency keyword manages the number of simultaneous runs allowed, while timeout-minutes enforces the duration limits of those individual runs [1][5].

Citations:


Add a concurrency policy for push notifications.

This workflow has no concurrency setting. timeout-minutes: 5 only limits each job, so rapid pushes can run multiple SMTP jobs concurrently and send a burst of emails. Add a concurrency policy if the notification-storm freeze requires serialisation or coalescing, and define whether cancelling earlier runs is acceptable.

Use an implicit-TLS SMTP port.

If secrets.SMTP_PORT is 587, secure: true starts implicit TLS instead of STARTTLS, so the SMTP server may reject the connection. Set SMTP_PORT to 465, or use an action that supports STARTTLS.
