if you have the answer, I will take it as mines are doing the same. Maybe mine are not that much distanced from each others and carrots.
Thats was a test from me this year.

Leafminer, if it is you will be able to squeeze and pop the worm inside the leaf.

Sure looks like leafminers. They don't always make an obvious pathway in the leaf. Sometimes they circle around while munching which leads to blotches other than trails. You can see if there are any live larvae but they could have already dropped into the soil to reemerge as a fly and start the cycle all over.
Beet and Spinach Leafminers | University of Maryland Extension
In high tunnels and in the field, I have seen spinach and beet leaf miners Pegomya hyoscyami and P. betae respectively in swiss chard and spinach. These leafminers are a type of blotch leafminer, creating irregularly shaped mines. These flies attack crops and weeds in the plant family...

Leafminer, 100%
You can see the tracks in your photos.
They are pretty common in my garden. Just pick the affected leaves off and discard in the trash. If it's not badly damaged, cut out the affected area. I get them in chard. It doesn't seem to hurt the plant all that much, just it cut it from the leaf or throw away. BT can work but not after the critter gets in-between the inner and outer layer of the leaf.
I don't know much about conventional treatments. Organic remedy is to keep the site clean. Cut off and discard infected leaves. I've heard of draping frost cloth onto supports over your plants to keep the fly from laying eggs but haven't tried it.

Sometimes you can find them still in the leaf, give a little squeeze and smash them inside. It's kind of gross but amazingly satisfying.

The Yukon Golds didn't fare well in 115° heat but I did a little digging and they look to be done anyway.
The tomatoes I overcrowded made it through the heat. I'm glad I covered them.
I have to get the twine strung up for my 2 bean spots. I also have some planted on the side of the house with the corn and have bush beans in another spot as well.
My volunteer sunflowers and potatoes back against the shed. I'm going to dig whatever there is of the potatoes and plant summer squash.
I need to pick the kale before the bugs get to it.
Corn is coming along nicely and didn't seem to be bothered by the recent heatwave.
