Cause (Documented platform behavior): Hash-checking mode turns on automatically when any package has a hash; then every requirement must be pinned with == and have hashes.
Fix status: documented_behavior (fixed in pip 26.2 (--no-require-hashes))
Other error fragments:
- In --require-hashes mode, all requirements must have their versions pinned with ==. These do not:

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pypa/pip/main/src/pip/_internal/exceptions/hashes.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): HashMissing message notes --require-hashes turns on automatically when any package has a hash; HashUnpinned requires == pins in that mode.
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pypa/pip/main/docs/html/topics/secure-installs.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Versionadded 26.2: by default hashes become required for all requirements once one has hashes, preventing combination with local directories or VCS URLs; --no-require-hashes verifies only provided hashes.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Install fails listing requirements without hashes, even though --require-hashes was never passed.
- Context
- Product: pip Component: hash-checking mode auto-enable Operation: pip install -r requirements.txt mixing hashed pins with unhashed entries (-e ., git+https, transitive deps) Affected versions: pip all; --no-require-hashes added in 26.2 Environment: Any Exception: HashMissing, HashUnpinned Trigger: At least one requirement has --hash, so hash mode applies to all, including transitive dependencies and local/VCS requirements that cannot be hashed.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [pip] 'Hashes are required in --require-hashes mode, but they are missing from some requirements' — one hashed line silently turns on hash mode for all (local paths/VCS URLs/unpinned dep
Recommended action: Either fully lock with hashes (all transitive deps pinned ==), or on pip >=26.2 pass --no-require-hashes so hashes are verified only where provided.
Option: Complete the lock or use --no-require-hashes (pip >=26.2) [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Mixed hashed/unhashed requirements
Steps:
1. Option A: generate a full hashed lock including transitive deps
2. Option B: pip install --no-require-hashes -r requirements.txt (pip >=26.2)
Expected: Install proceeds with hashes verified where present
