Replaces dawidd6/action-send-mail with hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.1.0 (tag commit 1b3b752d39a4fe4c0f28f10905e4608789d3e050), per the 2026-09-02 ruling (standards spec §5.5/§9, PR hyperpolymath/standards#725). The whole file is the rsr-template-repo canonical, so besides the uses: line it also: limits the trigger to branch pushes (tag/deletion payloads mislabel Branch:), drops actions: read (unused), and adds timeout-minutes: 5. Dormant gating on vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true' is unchanged. Line 1 SPDX header kept as it was.

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changes

    • Push email notifications now run only for branch pushes.
    • Notification processing has a five-minute timeout.
    • Email delivery now uses a pinned SMTP notification action.
    • Existing notification settings, including recipients, subject, message content, permissions and secrets, remain unchanged.
  • Documentation

    • Workflow documentation now records the updated implementation and its re-landing.

Walkthrough

The push email workflow now handles branch pushes only, has a five-minute job timeout, and uses the pinned hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action. Comments document the enablement variable, SMTP secrets, re-landing status, and action implementation.

Changes

Push email notification workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow notification update
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow documents its SMTP configuration, filters events to branch pushes, adds a five-minute timeout, and replaces the mail-sending action with the pinned SMTP notification action.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 39e56

This change repoints push notifications to a new SMTP action, but the workflow still references a mutable tag, may fail when the SMTP port configuration does not match the action’s TLS mode, and can run on branch deletions without a commit message. These issues could make notifications unreliable or weaken dependency immutability, so the PR needs fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

site:docs.github.com/en/actions push event branch deletion branches filter head_commit null GitHub Actions workflow syntax

💡 Result:

When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, it generates a push event where the head_commit SHA is null (often represented as a series of zeros, e.g., 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000) [1]. Because this push event technically involves a change to the repository refs, it can trigger workflows configured with the push trigger [1][2]. In this scenario, the head_commit object in the GitHub Actions event context (github.event.head_commit) will be null [1]. If your workflow relies on accessing properties of the head_commit (such as the commit message or author), the workflow may fail unless you include a conditional check to verify the existence of the commit object [3]. You can prevent workflows from running on branch deletions by using a filter or conditional logic within your workflow configuration: 1. Using a conditional step: You can skip specific steps in your job by adding an if conditional that checks if the commit SHA is present: if: ${{ github.event.head_commit!= null }} 2. Using workflow filters: While you cannot directly filter out branch deletions in the push event trigger syntax using standard branches filters, you can structure your workflow to handle the event type appropriately or rely on the fact that GitHub Actions workflows triggered by deletions may behave differently regarding the available refs [1]. For operations specifically related to branch deletions, it is recommended to use the delete event trigger rather than the push event, as the delete event is explicitly designed for this purpose and provides a distinct webhook payload [1]. If you use the delete event, you can configure your workflow to run only when a branch is deleted [1].

Exclude branch-deletion pushes.

push.branches: ['**'] does not test github.event.deleted. A branch deletion can therefore run this job with github.event.head_commit == null and no commit message. Add github.event.deleted == false to the job condition.

Suggested change
-    if: ${{ vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true' }}
+    if: ${{ github.event.deleted == false && vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true' }}

Pin the action to the full commit SHA.

The v0.1.0 tag resolves to commit 1b3b752d39a4fe4c0f28f10905e4608789d3e050, but the lock file does not make the workflow reference immutable. Use the commit SHA directly.

hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.1.0 secure server_port STARTTLS implicit TLS

💡 Result:

The organization hyperpolymath does not maintain a custom action named "smtp-notify-action". Instead, their repositories use the widely adopted third-party GitHub Action dawidd6/action-send-mail to handle SMTP email notifications [1][2][3][4]. Regarding the configuration of SMTP security in these contexts: 1. Implicit TLS vs. STARTTLS: Implicit TLS (often called SMTPS) establishes an encrypted connection from the start of the session, typically on port 465 [5][6]. STARTTLS, by contrast, begins with an unencrypted connection that is upgraded to a secure channel via an explicit command, commonly used on ports 25 or 587 [7][5][6]. 2. Configuration Settings: In most SMTP GitHub Actions (such as dawidd6/action-send-mail and others like it), the secure parameter is used to define the encryption method [8][9]: - Set secure: true for Implicit TLS (usually with port 465) [8][6]. - Set secure: false for STARTTLS (usually with port 587) [8][6]. If you are setting up your own workflow, ensure the server_port matches the protocol requirements of your SMTP provider [6]. For example, if your provider requires STARTTLS, you should use port 587 and set secure: false [8][5]. If they require implicit TLS, you should use port 465 and set secure: true [5][6]. Always manage your sensitive SMTP credentials (host, port, user, pass) using GitHub Secrets [1][8][9].

Confirm the SMTP transport mode

This repository does not define secrets.SMTP_PORT. The action uses implicit TLS with secure: true and does not support STARTTLS, so a port 587 secret can cause notification failure.
