Conversation
Replaces dawidd6/action-send-mail with hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 (ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7) per the 2026-09-02 ruling; file is the rsr-template-repo canonical (dormant gating on vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED unchanged). regime=no-lock changed=.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml, Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push-email workflow now runs only for branch pushes. Each run has an independent concurrency group. The notification job has a five-minute timeout and uses the pinned ChangesPush email notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Push notifications now use a different SMTP action and exclude tags, but may fail against a STARTTLS-only or non-PLAIN SMTP server and can send incomplete notifications for deleted branches. Confirm SMTP compatibility and exclude deletion events before merging. Poem

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the workflow changes and includes verification details. It does not use the repository template and omits the required quality checklist, explicit Changes and Testing sections, and Screenshots or an explicit not-applicable statement. Resolution Rewrite the description with the repository template. Add Summary, Changes, and Testing sections. Complete every applicable Required checklist item with evidence, and mark non-applicable items clearly. Add screenshots or terminal output, or state that they are not applicable. Full details: Docstring CoverageExplanation No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

implicit TLS on the configured port and AUTH PLAIN, matching the action’s
secure: true configuration; if either requirement is not supported, update the
SMTP configuration or action inputs to use the server’s supported contract.

GitHub Actions push event branch filters deleted branch head_commit null github.event.deleted
💡 Result:
When a branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event [1][2], but because the branch effectively no longer exists as a valid reference, the head_commit object in the webhook payload becomes null [2]. Key details regarding this behavior include: 1. Payload Limitations: In a push event triggered by a branch deletion, the head_commit field in the github.event context is null [2]. This is expected behavior as there is no longer a "tip" commit on that specific reference [3]. 2. Contextual Data: While github.event.head_commit is unavailable, you can still identify the deleted branch using github.event.ref (which contains the full reference, e.g., refs/heads/branch-name) [1][4]. 3. Workflow Filtering: If you want to prevent your workflow from running on branch deletions, you can use a conditional if expression to check the deleted property of the push event [1]: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 4. Alternative Event: If your primary goal is to respond to branch deletions (e.g., for cleanup tasks), it is often more reliable to use the delete event instead of relying on the push event [4]. The delete event allows you to filter specifically for branches using github.event.ref_type == 'branch' [4]. Example of handling deletions: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Cleaning up branch ${{ github.event.ref }}"

Exclude branch deletions explicitly.
branches: ['**'] does not exclude deleted branch push events. For a deleted branch, github.event.head_commit can be null, so the workflow can send an email without a head message. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

Verify the SMTP endpoint contract before merging.
If ${{ secrets.SMTP_PORT }} is STARTTLS-only or the server does not support AUTH PLAIN, this action can fail because secure: true requires implicit TLS. Confirm the server supports both requirements.
