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 e3b8f51 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

  • Bug Fixes
    • Email notifications are now sent only for branch pushes, preventing notifications for tag updates or branch deletions.
    • Added safeguards to prevent duplicate or stalled notification runs.
    • Notifications now use an updated delivery mechanism for improved reliability.
    • Notification jobs automatically stop after five minutes if delivery does not complete.

Walkthrough

The push-email notification workflow now responds only to branch pushes. It adds per-run execution controls, reduces permissions, limits job duration, and replaces the mail-sending action with a pinned SMTP notification action.

Changes

Push email notifications

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow execution controls
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow now triggers only for branch pushes. It uses a per-run concurrency group and grants only contents: read permission.
Notification delivery
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The notify job has a five-minute timeout and uses the pinned hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0. The existing inputs remain unchanged. Comments document the action properties and re-landing.

Poem

A rabbit checks the branch at dawn
The tags and deletions have gone
A five-minute clock starts bright
Pinned SMTP sends the light
Read-only keys keep watch
Email hops from the dispatch notch

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e3b8f

Branch deletions can still send push-email notifications, potentially producing misleading messages. Excluding deleted push events would make the workflow ready to merge.

GitHub Actions push event branches filter branch deletion events github.event.deleted head_commit null

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered not only by code commits but also when a branch or tag is deleted [1][2][3]. When a branch is deleted, the push event payload includes "deleted": true and "head_commit": null [2][4]. To filter out these branch deletion events in your workflow, you can add a conditional check using the if keyword at the job level or step level to ignore events where the deleted flag is true [1]. Example implementation: jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} steps: - name: Run only on non-deletion pushes run: echo "This step runs only for regular push events." Alternatively, if you specifically want to react to branch deletions, use the dedicated delete event instead of the push event [1][5]. The delete event payload contains the name of the deleted ref in github.event.ref [6][5]. Example for handling deletions: on: delete: jobs: on-delete: runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: echo "Branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted."

Citations:


Exclude branch-deletion pushes from the notification job.

The branches: ['**'] filter also matches branch-deletion push events. These events set github.event.deleted to true and can set head_commit to null. The job can therefore send a misleading push notification.

Add github.event.deleted != true to the existing job condition.

Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH client submission port 587 STARTTLS official documentation

💡 Result:

To use Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH client submission, you must connect to the endpoint smtp.office365.com on TCP port 587 using STARTTLS [1]. Key requirements and configurations for this setup include: 1. Server Settings: The SMTP server is smtp.office365.com, and the recommended TCP port is 587 [1]. 2. Security: TLS 1.2 or later is required for client SMTP submission [1]. 3. Authentication: As of April 30, 2026, Microsoft 365 has retired Basic Authentication for SMTP AUTH [2]. Applications and devices must now use Modern Authentication (OAuth) [3][2]. If your device or application cannot support OAuth, you must use alternative solutions such as High Volume Email for Microsoft 365, Azure Communication Services for Email, or an on-premises Exchange Server in a hybrid configuration [2]. 4. Configuration: Ensure that SMTP AUTH is enabled for the specific mailbox being used [3][4]. For legacy clients that strictly require TLS 1.0 or 1.1, Microsoft provides a specific endpoint (smtp-legacy.office365.com) and requires an administrative configuration change (Set-TransportConfig -AllowLegacyTLSClients $true) [4]. However, because Basic Auth is now fully retired for client submission, modern applications should prioritize OAuth 2.0 implementation over legacy endpoints [2].

Citations:


Do not use this action with Microsoft 365 SMTP submission.

If SMTP_HOST targets Microsoft 365, secure: true selects the wrong transport: Microsoft 365 requires STARTTLS on port 587, while this action uses implicit TLS and AUTH PLAIN. Microsoft 365 also requires OAuth for SMTP AUTH as of 30 April 2026. Use a provider compatible with SMTPS, or replace this action with one that supports STARTTLS and OAuth.
