The action uses implicit TLS for
secure: trueand does not implement STARTTLS. The repository does not exposesecrets.SMTP_PORT, so an incompatible port is not established. If the secret uses port587or another STARTTLS port, notifications can fail; use an implicit-TLS port, normally465.

GitHub Actions push event branches filter branch deletion branches '**' deleted event
💡 Result:
The push event in GitHub Actions is technically triggered when a branch is deleted [1]. However, because the branch no longer exists at the time the workflow runs, GitHub typically reverts to the repository's default branch [2][3]. This can lead to unexpected workflow executions if you have configured broad filters like branches: [''] [2][4]. Key considerations regarding this behavior include: Branch Deletion and Pushes: When a branch is deleted, the push event is registered by GitHub [1]. Since the branch is gone, the workflow environment resolves to the default branch [2][3]. This means that workflows restricted to certain branches via the branches filter may still trigger or behave inconsistently during a deletion event [1]. Filtering Limitations: You cannot use branches or branches-ignore filters to specifically exclude or include branch deletion events for the push trigger [4][5]. These filters are designed to control which branch pushes initiate a workflow run [4]. Because the delete event happens independently of the push event, if you need to handle or ignore deletions specifically, you should use the delete event type [6]. Handling Deletion Events: If you need to perform logic specifically when a branch is deleted, use the on: delete trigger [6][7]. Inside the workflow, you can filter for branch deletions by checking the github.event.ref_type context [6]: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: echo "Branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted." If you need to ensure a workflow does not run during a branch deletion on a push event, you may need to add conditional logic (the if expression) to your jobs to check for the deletion state, as standard branches filters do not natively provide a "not-deleted" toggle [1].

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.github.com actions push event deleted branches filter "deleted" "branches"
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the push event does not have a native filter to specifically include or exclude deleted branches [1][2]. When a branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event where the SHA reverts to the default branch of the repository, but the event itself remains a push event [1][3]. If you need to detect or react to a branch deletion in a workflow, you should use the delete event instead of the push event [2][3]. Key details: - Push Event: Triggered when a branch is deleted, but it is treated as a standard push event [1][2]. There is no specific activity type or filter within the push event to distinguish deletions from normal code pushes [1][4]. - Delete Event: This event is specifically designed to run when a Git reference (branch or tag) is deleted [3]. You can configure your workflow to respond to this event by using: on: delete: If you are using the push event and need to identify if a branch deletion occurred within your job steps (rather than triggering the workflow itself), you can inspect the payload or the Git state, though this is less direct than using the delete event [2]. The push event payload includes a boolean field named deleted, which indicates whether the push resulted in the deletion of the reference [2]. You can access this in your workflow if needed for conditional logic within a step.

Exclude deleted branches from this notification job.
branches: ['**'] does not exclude branch-deletion push events. Since the job checks only PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED, it can send a notification with a missing github.event.head_commit.message. Add && !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

gh actions-lock v0.0.2 actions.lock ref commit enforcement workflow keyed documentation
💡 Result:
The gh-actions-lock CLI and the associated actions.lock file (currently using schema v0.0.2) represent an effort to manage GitHub Actions dependencies by pinning them to specific, verified commit SHAs [1][2]. Key Technical Details: - Purpose: The tool generates and maintains a.github/workflows/actions.lock file, which serves as a record of resolved action dependencies, mapping them to immutable commit SHAs [2]. - Schema v0.0.2: This is the current schema version [1][3]. The lockfile format organizes dependencies by workflows (a flat list of pin keys per workflow) and dependencies (deduplicated metadata for each pin key, including ref, commit SHA, and repository IDs) [1][3]. - Workflow Interaction: While the lockfile acts as a source of truth for the dependency graph, GitHub Actions itself does not natively read the actions.lock file [4]. Consequently, the lockfile is a tool-maintained record rather than a direct runtime enforcement mechanism [4]. - Enforcement: True runtime enforcement is achieved by using full 40-character commit SHAs directly within workflow files [5][4]. GitHub provides native policy support to enforce SHA pinning at the organization or enterprise level, which causes workflows using floating tags (e.g., @v4) instead of full SHAs to fail [5]. - Relationship: The gh-actions-lock tool complements security workflows by ensuring that developers can track, verify, and update these pinned versions systematically [2][6]. Users often maintain both methods: using the lockfile as a manageable record for traceability and using inline SHA pins in workflow files for guaranteed runtime immutability [4]. Documentation for this project is largely maintained within its repository as it is currently in a technical preview state and subject to change [2].

Pin the action to the locked commit SHA.
GitHub Actions does not read .github/workflows/actions.lock when it resolves uses:. If v0.2.0 moves, the runner can load a different action.yml, including different binary-download and checksum logic. Use the locked SHA and retain # v0.2.0.
