The more apt word is steganography, rather than watermark. Basically subtly adjust the weights of the model so that some subtle patterns appear. Think of how AI text prefers certain words and phrases that ordinary humans don't use as often, like "delve," but presumably much more subtle.

And no, as Anthropic has already said, this watermark may not survive editing/formatting.
