📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push email workflow now runs for branch pushes only. Each run has an independent concurrency group. The workflow uses reduced permissions, a five-minute timeout, and a pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush email notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Push-email notifications may send incomplete messages for branch deletions, and the new mail action may fail against an SMTP server using STARTTLS. Confirm deletion handling and SMTP transport compatibility before merging. Poem

- Around line 14-15: Update the push notification job condition to exclude
deleted-branch push events by requiring github.event.deleted to be false, while
preserving notifications for non-deletion branch pushes.
- Line 42: Update the SMTP notification step using
hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action so its transport matches the configured
security mode: use implicit TLS with SMTP_PORT set to 465, or replace it with an
action that supports STARTTLS when retaining port 587. Preserve the existing
email notification behavior.

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion deleted true head_commit null branches filter workflow syntax
💡 Result:
When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, it generates a push event where the payload property "deleted" is set to "true" [1][2]. In this specific scenario, the "head_commit" object in the push event payload will be null because there is no head commit associated with a deleted reference [1][2]. Workflow behavior and considerations: 1. Workflow Triggers: While the push event includes information about branch deletions, using the "delete" event is the dedicated way to trigger workflows specifically for branch or tag deletions [3][1]. Note that for the "delete" event to trigger, the workflow file must exist on the repository's default branch [3][4]. 2. Payload Data: If you use the push event to handle deletions, you must handle the case where "head_commit" is null. Because the push event payload for a deletion does not contain the usual commit details, you cannot rely on "head_commit" to access information about the branch that was just deleted [3][1]. 3. Branches Filter: When using the "push" event, the "branches" or "branches-ignore" filters are evaluated against the Git reference name (e.g., "refs/heads/feature-branch") [5][6]. If you configure a workflow to trigger on the "push" event and use branch filters, the workflow will still be evaluated when a branch is deleted if that deletion constitutes a "push" event to your repository [1][5]. If your goal is to perform cleanup tasks after a branch deletion, it is often more robust to use the "delete" event, which provides the deleted reference name directly via "${{ github.event.ref }}" [3][7]. If you must use the "push" event, ensure your logic explicitly checks if "deleted" is true to avoid errors caused by the null "head_commit" [1][2].

Exclude branch-deletion push events.
branches: ['**'] does not exclude branch-deletion push events. These events can set github.event.head_commit to null, so the notification can omit the head message. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition, or handle deletion events explicitly.

Use a compatible SMTP transport before merging.
If secrets.SMTP_PORT is 587 and the server requires STARTTLS, this step can fail. With secure: true, the pinned action uses implicit TLS, and its STARTTLS mode is not implemented. Use an implicit-TLS port, normally 465, or retain an action that supports STARTTLS.
