WalkthroughThe GitHub Actions workflow now processes branch pushes with non-cancelling per-run concurrency, limits the notification job to five minutes, and sends email through a pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush email notifications
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The workflow can send misleading notifications for deleted branches, and notification re-runs may not execute independently. These are bounded email-delivery behavior issues that should be addressed before relying on the workflow for complete push notifications. Poem

- Line 30: Update the concurrency group key in the workflow to include both
github.run_id and github.run_attempt, ensuring each workflow attempt has a
distinct group while preserving the existing push-email grouping behavior.
- Line 15: Update the workflow job condition for the push notification to

branch-deletion events are skipped while normal push events continue to notify.

site:docs.github.com GitHub Actions push event branch deletion branches filter github.event.deleted head_commit null
💡 Result:
When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, the push event is triggered with specific characteristics in the webhook payload, including head_commit being set to null [1][2]. Key details regarding this behavior: 1. Payload Characteristics: In a push event triggered by branch deletion, the boolean deleted field in the webhook payload is set to true [1][2]. Simultaneously, the head_commit field is set to null, as there is no longer a commit associated with that reference [1][2]. 2. Detecting Deletion: You can use these payload properties within a GitHub Actions workflow to conditionally execute steps. For example, you can use a step with an if conditional to check if the push represents a deletion: if: ${{ github.event.deleted == true }} 3. Event Filtering: The standard branches filter in the push event configuration (on.push.branches) is designed to trigger workflows when a branch matching the pattern is pushed to [3][4]. Because branch deletion is technically a push event, it can trigger these workflows [5][2]. If you only want to handle branch deletions specifically, you may prefer using the delete event instead of the push event [6][2]. Unlike the push event, the delete event is specifically for when a Git reference (branch or tag) is removed [6][2]. 4. Important Considerations: When a branch is deleted, the GITHUB_SHA and GITHUB_REF in the workflow context will typically point to the repository's default branch rather than the deleted branch, because the branch no longer exists at the time the action runs [3][5]. If your goal is to perform cleanup tasks triggered by deletions, relying on the delete event or explicitly checking github.event.deleted in a push workflow are the standard approaches [1][6][2].

Exclude branch-deletion events.
The push.branches: ['**'] filter also permits branch deletion events. These payloads set github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null, so the workflow can send a misleading notification without a head message. Add !github.event.deleted to the existing job condition.

GitHub Actions github.run_id unchanged workflow re-run github.run_attempt concurrency group semantics
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, workflow re-runs behave as follows regarding context variables and concurrency: 1. Context Persistence and Changes The github.run_id remains constant across all re-runs of a workflow [1][2]. This ID identifies the initial workflow execution [3]. In contrast, github.run_attempt is a unique number that increments with every re-run of a specific workflow execution [1][2]. The initial run starts at 1, and subsequent re-runs will increment this value (e.g., 2, 3, etc.) [1][2]. These context variables are essential for creating unique identifiers (e.g., for build IDs or tracing) across retries, as github.run_id alone does not distinguish between re-run attempts [4][5]. 2. Concurrency Group Semantics Concurrency groups are used to limit the number of simultaneous workflow runs or jobs [6][7]. When a concurrency group is defined: - If a new workflow run or job is triggered with the same concurrency group name, GitHub Actions enforces limits based on your configuration [6][8]. - By default, GitHub Actions allows only one active run and one pending run in a group; if another run enters, the existing pending run is canceled [6][9]. - You can now configure queues to allow multiple pending runs (up to 100) to execute sequentially by setting queue: max in the concurrency block [10][8]. - Concurrency group names can use dynamic expressions, including github context variables [6][8]. If you use github.run_id in a concurrency group name, all re-runs of that workflow will share the same concurrency group identifier because the run_id does not change [1][2]. If you incorporate github.run_attempt into the concurrency group name, each re-run would technically form a distinct, unique concurrency group, effectively bypassing the intended limiting behavior of the concurrency group across re-runs [6][9].

Include github.run_attempt in the concurrency key.
github.run_id does not change when a workflow is re-run, but github.run_attempt increments. A re-run can therefore share the group with another attempt and be queued or cause a pending attempt to be cancelled. This contradicts the workflow's no-queue and no-cancellation intent.
