arXiv:2610.21031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Source-code watermarking supports provenance tracking by embedding a recoverable identifier in a software artifact. Many existing approaches encode this identifier in tokens or program syntax, exposing the watermark to transformations that modify the source text. We present PlaceMark, a blind watermarking system that encodes a payload in the placement of modules within a repository.
