📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push notification workflow now runs for branch pushes only. It uses reduced permissions, a five-minute timeout, and a SHA-256-pinned SMTP notification action. Comments record the workflow re-landing after the notification-storm freeze. ChangesPush email notification workflow
Poem
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR changes push-email delivery and the push events that trigger it. Deleted-branch events can still reach the notification step without a commit payload, and the configured SMTP security mode must match the server; rapid pushes may also create overlapping notifications. Merge should wait for the deleted-branch guard and explicit SMTP transport confirmation. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml:
- Line 26: Verify that the SMTP server configured through SMTP_PORT supports
implicit TLS before enabling the SMTP notification action’s secure transport; if
it requires STARTTLS, do not substitute secure: false, and instead preserve
plaintext protection by correcting the transport configuration or server
endpoint.
- Line 23: Update the SMTP notification workflow’s concurrency policy near
timeout-minutes so enabled push-email jobs use a branch-scoped concurrency group
with cancel-in-progress enabled, ensuring only the latest push notification
runs; leave unrelated workflow behavior unchanged.
- Line 15: Update the condition controlling hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action in
the push notification workflow to require github.event.deleted != true,
preventing deleted branch pushes with a null github.event.head_commit from
triggering email notifications.

site:docs.github.com GitHub push webhook deleted head_commit null branches filter branch deletion workflow
💡 Result:
When a branch is deleted, the GitHub push webhook payload will explicitly set the deleted field to true [1][2]. In this scenario, the head_commit field is set to null because the branch reference no longer exists to point to a head commit [1][3][2]. If you are building a workflow to handle branch deletions via webhooks, you should check the following properties in the push event payload: 1. deleted: Ensure this boolean is true [1][4]. 2. head_commit: Verify that this field is null [1][2]. Alternatively, if your workflow only needs to respond to branch or tag deletions, it is recommended to use the delete webhook event rather than filtering the push event [1][4][5]. The delete event is purpose-built for these actions and provides a cleaner payload for tracking which reference was removed [5][6].

site:docs.github.com actions workflow syntax on.push.branches deleted branch push branch filter
💡 Result:
The GitHub Actions push event does trigger for branch deletions because a deletion is reported as a push event [1]. When you use the branches or branches-ignore filters in your workflow syntax, these filters evaluate against the ref that was deleted [2][3]. If you wish to prevent your workflow from running on branch deletions, you can use an if condition within your workflow or job to check the payload data [4]. Specifically, the github.event.deleted context can be used to identify if the push event resulted in a deletion [1][4]. Example workflow configuration: name: Example Workflow on: push: branches: - main jobs: build: if: github.event.deleted == false runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This workflow runs only when a branch is created or updated, not when it is deleted." When a branch is deleted, the SHA in the workflow run reverts to the default branch of the repository [3][5]. If you do not include an if condition to filter out deletions, the workflow may trigger if the branch name matches your branch filter criteria [2][3].

Exclude deleted branch pushes before sending email.
When github.event.deleted is true, github.event.head_commit can be null. The current condition can still invoke hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action for a deleted branch. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job or send-step condition.

GitHub Actions workflow concurrency default concurrent runs cancel-in-progress official documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the default behavior of the concurrency keyword is as follows: When you define a concurrency group, GitHub Actions ensures that at most one job or workflow run within that group is in progress at any given time [1][2]. Regarding how pending runs are handled by default: - Only one job or workflow run can be pending in a concurrency group at a time [2]. - If a new job or workflow run is queued while another is already pending, the existing pending run is canceled and replaced by the new one [1][2]. To change this behavior, you have the following options: 1. Cancel in-progress runs: By default, cancel-in-progress is false [3]. If you set cancel-in-progress: true, GitHub Actions will cancel any currently running job or workflow in the same concurrency group when a new one is triggered [1][4]. 2. Queue multiple runs: By default, the concurrency mode is single [5][2]. As of May 2026, you can now allow multiple runs to queue instead of being canceled by setting queue: max [3][2]. This allows up to 100 jobs or workflow runs to wait in the concurrency group; once this queue is full, any additional runs are canceled [3][2]. Note that queue: max is used when cancel-in-progress is set to false or not specified [3]. Example of the default-style configuration (canceling pending): concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: false Example of using the queue option to allow multiple pending runs: concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} queue: max cancel-in-progress: false

Define a concurrency policy for SMTP notifications.
When PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true, each push can start a separate SMTP job. timeout-minutes: 5 does not prevent overlapping runs. If only the latest push needs an email, add a branch-scoped concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true. Otherwise, queue or digest notifications.

Verify the SMTP transport mode
If secrets.SMTP_PORT targets a server that requires STARTTLS, this action can fail because secure: true uses implicit TLS and does not support STARTTLS. Confirm that the configured server uses implicit TLS before enabling this gate. Do not use secure: false as a STARTTLS substitute because it uses plaintext.
