+### Simplify the Inventory
+
+Current inventory contains inventory-id which is required to match the label `cli-utils.sigs.k8s.io/inventory-id`.
+
+For new users, they should no longer need to be exposed to the inventory-id, but kpt will
+build one composed by `name-namespace` on the fly.

+to override the label. This flag is only required as a one-off via `kpt live apply -` to override the label to `name-namespace`.

+  inventory.namespace in Kptfile, it will override the default metadata.namespace in the standalone ResourceGroup file.

+#### `--inventory-id` for invectory

+- description: Inventory identifier. This is used to detect overlap between
+  two sets of ResourceGroup managed resources that might use the same name and namespace.
+- This flag will continue to be accepted by `kpt live init` for backward compatibility reasons. 
+  If given, ResourceGroup will store the inventory-id value in "metadata.labels[0].cli-utils.sigs.k8s.io/inventory-id"
+  of the ResourceGroup.
