Existing SQL Agent jobs (owner, schedule, notifications) are now preserved during upgrades when --preserve-jobs is specified (CLI) or the checkbox is checked (GUI). Missing jobs are still created. Uses a @preserve_jobs variable in the T-SQL — the C# installer flips it from 0 to 1 via string replace when the flag is set. Fixes #324 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
