📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push email workflow now runs only for branch pushes, uses per-run concurrency, requires fewer permissions, enforces a five-minute timeout, and sends mail through a pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush email workflow
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Email delivery may fail if the configured SMTP endpoint requires STARTTLS, and the notification action retains unnecessary repository-read permission. Confirm an implicit-TLS SMTP endpoint or use a STARTTLS-capable action, and remove the unused permission before merging. Poem

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml:
- Line 15: Update the notification job condition in the workflow to require
github.event.deleted != true, while preserving the existing branch and event
conditions, so branch-deletion push events are excluded.
- Line 42: Update the SMTP notification configuration using the pinned action
and its server_port/secure settings so it targets an implicit-TLS SMTPS service,
normally port 465, rather than a STARTTLS-only port such as 587; alternatively
replace the action with one that explicitly supports STARTTLS while preserving
the notification behavior.
- Line 33: Update the workflow permissions configuration near the pinned action
to grant no token permissions by replacing the contents read permission with an
empty permissions mapping. Preserve the existing action and SMTP behavior.

🌐 Web query:
GitHub Actions push event branch deletion deleted true branches filter head_commit null workflow syntax
💡 Result:
When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, it triggers a push event [1][2]. In this specific payload, the deleted field is set to true and the head_commit property is null [1][2]. Because the push event is still technically triggered, workflows configured for on: push will execute unless specifically filtered [2]. Since head_commit is null, referencing it directly in a workflow (e.g., ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}) will cause the workflow to fail [3]. To prevent workflows from running on branch deletions, you can use an if conditional at the job or workflow level to check the payload data: jobs: job_name: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." Alternatively, if you only want the workflow to run on specific events that contain valid commit information, you can ensure that head_commit is not null: jobs: job_name: if: ${{ github.event.head_commit!= null }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This only runs if there is a head_commit." Note that while delete events also exist, they are separate from the push event; if you specifically want to handle branch deletions, you should use the delete event trigger, which provides different payload fields (such as ref_type and ref) [4][5].

Exclude branch-deletion events from the notification job.
If a branch deletion produces a push event, branches: ['**'] does not exclude it. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition.

Set the workflow token permissions to empty.
The pinned action only downloads a public binary and sends SMTP input. It does not access repository contents or the GitHub API. Replace contents: read with permissions: {}.

Use an SMTP service that matches the action’s transport mode.
The workflow passes secrets.SMTP_PORT to server_port and sets secure: true. The pinned action uses implicit TLS and does not implement STARTTLS. If the port is 587 and the service expects STARTTLS, the notification step can fail. Use SMTPS, normally on port 465, or use an action that supports STARTTLS.
