Replaces dawidd6/action-send-mail with hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 (tag commit ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7), per the 2026-09-02 ruling (standards spec §5.5/§9, PR hyperpolymath/standards#725). The whole file is replaced with the rsr-template-repo canonical, which — besides the uses: line — restricts the trigger to branch pushes (tag and deletion payloads mislabel Branch:/head_commit), sets timeout-minutes: 5, carries a deliberately per-run concurrency group, and grants only contents: read. How many of those are actual changes here depends on how far this repo's copy had drifted — read the diff, not this list. 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

  • Improvements
    • Push email notifications now process branch updates more reliably.
    • Notifications are protected against stalled runs with a five-minute time limit.
    • Concurrent notification runs are handled without cancelling in-progress notifications.
    • Notification delivery uses an updated, securely pinned service action.

Walkthrough

The push-email workflow now accepts branch pushes only, uses per-run concurrency controls, requests only contents read access, limits notification jobs to five minutes, and uses hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@v0.2.0.

Changes

Push email notification workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow event and execution controls
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow filters events to branch pushes, adds per-run concurrency settings, and removes actions: read permission.
SMTP notification delivery
.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
The workflow comments document its state and SMTP secret dependency. The notify job adds a five-minute timeout and uses hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@v0.2.0 with the recorded pin reference.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0cb1f

This changes the SMTP delivery implementation. If the configured SMTP service requires STARTTLS or a different authentication method, enabled push notifications will fail; confirm compatibility before merging.

A rabbit checks the branch at dawn
The tag-shaped noise is neatly gone
The SMTP bell rings bright
Five minutes guard the night
A pinned action keeps things right

🌐 Web query:

hyperpolymath smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 action.yml secure AUTH PLAIN STARTTLS

💡 Result:

There is no widely recognized GitHub Action specifically named hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action [1][2][3][4]. Research indicates that the user is likely referring to a workflow pattern used in repositories under the "hyperpolymath" organization, which utilizes the popular third-party action dawidd6/action-send-mail to handle email notifications [1][2][3][4]. In these implementations, the SMTP configuration typically follows this structure: - server_address: ${{ secrets.SMTP_HOST }} - server_port: ${{ secrets.SMTP_PORT }} - secure: true - username: ${{ secrets.SMTP_USER }} - password: ${{ secrets.SMTP_PASS }} Regarding your question about AUTH PLAIN and STARTTLS: 1. Security and STARTTLS: Setting secure: true in actions like action-send-mail generally instructs the client to establish a secure connection [5][6]. For SMTP, this often involves STARTTLS if the connection begins on a non-encrypted port (such as 587) and is subsequently upgraded, or implicit TLS if connecting on port 465 [5][7][8]. 2. AUTH PLAIN: It is a standard security practice that AUTH PLAIN should only be performed after a secure, encrypted transport layer (STARTTLS or implicit TLS) has been established [9][10][11]. Modern SMTP libraries and GitHub Actions that implement this correctly will refuse to send credentials over an unencrypted connection to prevent credential leakage [9]. 3. Configuration: If you are encountering issues with AUTH PLAIN, ensure that your SMTP provider's requirements for STARTTLS are met before the authentication handshake occurs [10][11]. You may need to verify that your chosen port and security settings are compatible with your SMTP server's expected connection flow [7][8]. If you are developing a custom action or tool and referencing version 0.2.0, ensure that your implementation explicitly handles the STARTTLS upgrade command before issuing the AUTH PLAIN command to ensure credentials remain secure [9][10].

Verify the SMTP endpoint before merging this replacement.

hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@v0.2.0 uses implicit TLS when secure: true, supports AUTH PLAIN, and does not implement STARTTLS. If the protected SMTP endpoint requires STARTTLS or another authentication mechanism, this job can fail for each enabled push. Confirm the endpoint contract before merging, or select an action with the required support.
