Replaces dawidd6/action-send-mail with hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 (tag commit ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7), per the 2026-09-02 ruling (standards spec §5.5/§9, PR hyperpolymath/standards#725). The whole file is replaced with the rsr-template-repo canonical, which — besides the uses: line — restricts the trigger to branch pushes (tag and deletion payloads mislabel Branch:/head_commit), sets timeout-minutes: 5, carries a deliberately per-run concurrency group, and grants only contents: read. How many of those are actual changes here depends on how far this repo's copy had drifted — read the diff, not this list. 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 d83e8b0 canon=543fc1474b54 base=main
(pristine/post = gh actions-lock --no-fix validity before/after; repair = the lock was already invalid before this change and is valid after it.)

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Restored email notifications for pushes to branches.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Notifications now run only for branch pushes, avoiding unnecessary triggers.
    • Prevented notification runs from being queued or cancelled by overlapping runs.
    • Added a five-minute limit to prevent stalled notification jobs from running indefinitely.
  • Security

    • Reduced workflow permissions to the minimum required for sending notifications.

Walkthrough

The push email workflow was re-added with branch-only push triggers, per-run concurrency, a five-minute timeout, reduced permissions, and a pinned SMTP notification action. Existing enablement conditions, SMTP inputs, recipients, and email content remain unchanged.

Changes

Push email notification workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow trigger and mail delivery
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow triggers only for branch pushes. It uses a unique, non-cancelling concurrency group, contents: read permission, and a five-minute job timeout. The mail action now uses hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action at a pinned commit.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d83e8

The workflow may send incomplete emails for deleted branches or fail to deliver mail if the configured SMTP endpoint does not support implicit TLS. These conditions should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

GitHub Actions workflow syntax push event deleted branch head_commit null branches filter official documentation

💡 Result:

When a Git branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push webhook event with specific payload characteristics [1][2]. In this scenario, the head_commit property in the event payload is null [1][2]. This occurs because there is no "tip" commit associated with a deleted branch [3][1]. Workflow behavior and best practices for handling this event: 1. Payload Structure: Because head_commit is null during a deletion, any workflow steps that attempt to access github.event.head_commit (e.g., for commit messages or author info) will fail or trigger errors unless handled defensively [4][5]. 2. Filtering: You can use the branches and branches-ignore filters in your workflow syntax to limit which branches trigger your workflow [6][7]. However, these filters apply to the push event generally [3][8]. If you need to specifically exclude or handle branch deletions within your workflow, you must check the event properties in your steps [1]. 3. Detecting Deletion: You can identify that a push event represents a branch deletion by checking the deleted boolean property in the webhook payload, which will be true [1][2]. Alternatively, you can use the delete event trigger if you want to isolate logic specifically for branch or tag deletions, as this event is separate from the push event [3][1]. If your goal is to prevent workflows from running on branch deletion, you can add a conditional check at the job or step level: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} This ensures the workflow only proceeds when the push event represents a standard code update rather than a branch deletion [1].

Citations:


Exclude branch-deletion events from the notification job.

branches: ['**'] does not exclude branch-deletion push events. These events set github.event.deleted to true and head_commit to null, so the job can send an email with an empty Head msg.

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

hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7 secure STARTTLS

💡 Result:

There is no GitHub repository named "hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action." The search results indicate that organizations or users under the "hyperpolymath" handle utilize the dawidd6/action-send-mail GitHub Action for email notifications within their workflows [1][2]. Regarding the secure parameter and STARTTLS in common SMTP GitHub Actions (such as dawidd6/action-send-mail and others): 1. The secure parameter typically controls the encryption method for the SMTP connection [3][4][5]. 2. For many of these actions, setting secure: true often defaults to using implicit TLS (typically on port 465) [3][6][4]. 3. STARTTLS is generally used for upgrading a plain connection to an encrypted one, often on port 587 [7]. In the context of dawidd6/action-send-mail, you may need to ensure your configuration aligns with your provider's requirements for STARTTLS, often by using the appropriate port and sometimes by omitting or configuring the secure setting specifically to allow for the STARTTLS handshake [5]. The hash string ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7 does not correspond to a known public GitHub repository or common technical identifier found in the context of SMTP notification actions [8][9][10][11][12]. It is likely a commit hash or internal identifier unrelated to a public "smtp-notify-action" repository.

Citations:


Confirm that the SMTP endpoint uses implicit TLS.

The pinned action treats secure: true as implicit TLS. STARTTLS is not implemented and causes the step to fail. Confirm that the organisation’s SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT secrets identify an implicit-TLS endpoint.
