Been growing them for at least 6 years and never saw this yellow discoloration on this middle one, is it a sort of rot? It's affecting perhaps 10% of the fruit. They're usually fine, and very hot with all that corking. Doesn't happen to my mini sweet peppers.

Stink bug damage.
This is known as corking, it’s generally from inconsistent watering.
Stink bug damage on that middle pepper. I had one lemon jalapeno strain this year that they totally attacked. Luckily that one plant took all the shots and the rest of the jalapeno types went unbothered. I discarded any peppers with the damage. Not sure it’s harmful but I’d rather avoid it knowing where the damage came from and would assume it affects the flavor.
