## Title

    [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 deps fail); pip …

## Body

    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:
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - 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.
    
    Search phrasings: pip hashes are required in require-hashes mode editable install; pip hash mode local path git url; pip no-require-hashes
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
