📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push notification workflow now handles branch pushes with independent, non-cancellable runs and a five-minute timeout. It replaces the mail action with a pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush email notifications
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Branch deletions can trigger an email with an incomplete commit message when notifications are enabled. Add a deletion guard before merging to keep notifications well-formed. Poem

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion github.event.deleted head_commit nullable workflow
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, when a push event is triggered by a branch deletion, the head_commit property in the github.event payload is indeed null [1]. This occurs because a push event is technically sent to GitHub's webhook system when a branch is deleted (with the after SHA set to a null SHA, 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000) [1]. Since no commit is being "pushed" in the traditional sense, there is no associated head_commit object [1]. To handle this in your workflows: 1. Check for deletion: You can explicitly check if the push event represents a deletion by checking the deleted boolean in the payload: ${{ github.event.deleted }} 2. Safe access: If you need to access properties of head_commit, ensure the event is not a deletion first to avoid errors, or use conditional logic: if: ${{ !github.event.deleted }} run: echo "${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}" If you specifically need to trigger workflows only on branch or tag deletions, the delete event is the recommended alternative to the push event [2][3][4]. The delete event payload provides the ref and ref_type (branch or tag), but does not contain commit information [5].

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.github.com actions workflow syntax branches filter push branch deletion event
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the push event includes branch deletion events [1][2][3]. When a branch is deleted, it is considered a push event with a specific state (the SHA typically reverts to the repository's default branch) [2][3]. Because branch deletion triggers the push event, any branches filter configured in your workflow will be evaluated against the deleted branch's name [4][5]. If the name of the deleted branch matches your specified branches or patterns, the workflow will trigger [6][7]. If you need to handle branch deletions separately or specifically exclude them from triggering your workflows, you may need to: 1. Use a filter with the! (negation) operator if you want to exclude specific patterns, though this can be complex when managing inclusion and exclusion [4][7]. 2. Use the dedicated delete event instead of the push event if your workflow's primary goal is to respond specifically to deletions, as this provides a separate trigger context [2][3]. Note that the delete event only triggers if the workflow file exists on the default branch [2]. 3. Add a step at the beginning of your job to inspect the event payload (e.g., checking if the ref was deleted) and exit early if the action is not desired [1]. The push event payload includes a boolean field deleted to indicate whether the ref was deleted [1].

Exclude branch-deletion events from the notification job.
When PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true', branches: ['**'] also permits branch-deletion push events. These events can have github.event.head_commit == null, so github.event.head_commit.message can produce an incomplete email body. Add && !github.event.deleted to the job condition, or add an equivalent deletion guard.

Verify the configured SMTP port before enabling notifications.
If PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true and the SMTP service expects STARTTLS on port 587, this step can fail because secure: true uses implicit TLS. Use an implicit-TLS endpoint, normally port 465, or a STARTTLS-capable action.
