It could be leaf miners or similar insects that eat layers of the leaves.

I will look for pests. Is that pretty unlikely though if they haven’t been outside yet? It seems to only be affecting some of the tatsoi and lettuce. Arugula and mizuna in the same pot are fine. The lettuce in this mixed pot is already not doing well because the other greens grew up around it more rapidly, but I’m curious to understand what is causing the leaves to look like this, regardless.
