📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push notification workflow now targets branch pushes, preserves concurrent runs, limits job duration, reduces permissions, and sends email through a pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush email notifications
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The email workflow now uses a new SMTP action, but it grants that action unnecessary repository-content access and can send incomplete notifications when branches are deleted. Remove the permission and exclude deletion events before merging. Poem

GitHub Actions push event branches filter branch deletion github.event.deleted head_commit null documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered not only by new commits but also when a branch or tag is deleted [1][2]. When a branch is deleted, GitHub sends a push event payload where deleted is true and head_commit is null [1][3]. Because the branch reference no longer exists at the time of the workflow run, any actions relying on commit-specific data (like head_commit.message or head_commit.id) will fail if they do not account for this state [4][3]. To handle or ignore branch deletion events within a workflow, you can use a conditional if statement to check the github.event.deleted flag [2][4]. Common patterns include: Ignoring branch deletions: You can prevent jobs from running during a branch deletion by adding the following condition to your job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} [5][4][6] Filtering by branch name: If you need to filter by branch while also ignoring deletions, you can combine the branches trigger filter with a job-level if condition [7][2]. The branches filter determines if the workflow is triggered for the push; the if condition then determines if the job executes [7]. Example: jobs: my-job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This runs only on pushes that are not deletions." When specifically responding to branch deletions, use the delete event instead of the push event [1][2]. The delete event is designed for this purpose and provides the name of the deleted branch in the github.event.ref context [8]. Documentation and behavior notes: - The push event payload for a deletion includes deleted: true and head_commit: null [1][3]. - When a branch is deleted, the GITHUB_SHA in the workflow run defaults to the tip commit of the repository's default branch [7][9]. - To identify the branch that was deleted, use the delete event trigger, which provides the branch name directly [1][8].

Exclude branch deletion events before sending mail.
When PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true, branches: ['**'] also permits branch deletion push events. These events can have a null head_commit, so the workflow may send a notification with an empty Head msg. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job-level condition.

Remove the unnecessary repository-content permission.
This workflow runs only hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@v0.2.0 and has no checkout or GitHub API step. Set permissions: {} so the third-party action does not receive unnecessary repository-content access.
