Don’t panic, it’s not rot, when that part of the shell gets old after the leaf emerges it will naturally die/brown.

She’s beautiful!!!! I would add another pole and help support as she keeps growing cause shes getting ready to put out a big ol leaf! I personally worry about my plants as if they have feelings and want to support them anytime they look like they are heavy and idk if that makes sense but it does to me 😂

As for the little one in the last picture, it looks like it got damaged when it was still rolled up! IVe had some that look like runts of the litter cause I didn’t realize they were there and bumped them and squished them or whatever else, but yours still looks healthy!!
