// This is the target PC.

// The next PC after the delay slot is the target.
// So we compute the target here.
// Note: pc_f is the PC of the branch instruction.
// The delay slot instruction is at pc_f + 1.
// The target is pc_f + offset + 1.
// We will use this target to update pc_f in the next cycle if branch_taken.
// We need to store the target in X stage to use in W stage?
// No, we can compute the next PC in F stage based on the branch result from X stage.
// But we need to pass the target from X to F?
// Actually, the F stage computes the next PC.
// If the instruction in X is a branch and is taken, the next PC is the target.
// Otherwise, it's pc_f + 1.
// But the instruction in F is the one after the branch (delay slot).
// So the next PC after the delay slot is the target if taken, or pc_f + 2 if not taken.
// Wait, let's trace:
// Cycle 3: I_branch in X, I_delay in F.
// I_branch is at pc_f (in X stage, it was pc_f in previous cycle).
// I_delay is at pc_f + 1.
// If branch taken, next PC after I_delay is target.
// If branch not taken, next PC after I_delay is pc_f + 2.
// So in Cycle 4, when I_delay moves to X, we need to set pc_f to target or pc_f+2.
// We can compute this in the F stage logic for the next cycle.
// Let's store the target in X stage.
// We'll add a register for branch target in X stage.
// But the problem says "compute next PC (PC+1 or branch target)" in F stage.
// This is a bit ambiguous. Let's assume the F stage computes the PC for the *next* fetch.
// If the current instruction (in F) is a branch, we don't know if it's taken yet.
// So we can't compute the next PC in F stage for a branch.
// We must wait for X stage to resolve the branch.
// So the F stage for the instruction *after* the branch (delay slot) will compute the next PC.
// But the delay slot instruction is not a branch (usually).
// So the F stage for the delay slot instruction will compute pc_f + 1.
// Then, if the branch (in X) is taken, we override the next PC with the target.
// Let's add a register for branch target in X stage.
// We'll call it target_x.
// And we'll pass it to W stage? No, we need it in F stage for the next cycle.
// Actually, we can pass it from X to F? No, F is ahead of X.
// We need to pass it from X to the PC update logic.
// The PC update logic is in the F stage next cycle.
// So we need to store the target in a register that is available in the next cycle.
// Let's add a register target_w in W stage? No.
// Let's add a register target_x in X stage, and then pass it to a register in the PC update logic.
// Actually, we can just compute the next PC in the always block for pc_f.
// If the instruction in X is a branch and is taken, next PC is target.
// Otherwise, next PC is pc_f + 1.
// But we need the target. So we store it in X stage.
// Let's add target_x to the X stage registers.
// We'll compute it here.
// target_x = pc_f + offset + 1;
// But pc_f is 5 bits. offset is 8 bits signed.
// We need to be careful with overflow.
// PC is 5 bits, so max PC is 31.
// offset is 4 bits signed, so -8 to 7.
// pc_f + offset + 1 can be out of range?
// The problem says 32-byte IMEM, so PC is 0-31.
// We'll assume the branch target is within 0-31.
// We'll store target_x as 5 bits.
// target_x = pc_f + {{4{instr_f[3]}}, instr_f[3:0]} + 1;
// But we need to sign extend offset to 5 bits?
// offset is 4 bits signed. pc_f is 5 bits.
// Let's do the addition in 8 bits and then truncate to 5 bits.
// Or just use 5-bit addition with sign extension.
