Just report out on the progress toward your deadlines, don’t worry that your stuff isn’t important enough. Best thing you could say in standup is “I’ve gotten through all the stuff so far and will have capacity this afternoon”. Be a stellar workhorse with high throughput, don’t worry that you’re not designing the racetrack

Just be honest that you are here to help but have zero context. You want to make it clear you are being a great team player and are humble and not fussy about just helping out wherever. Do not try to come across as an expert because you’ll be found out.
“Hi everyone, I saw some formatting needed doing and some links that were broken so I fixed those but I have no other context or background for this so keen to just lean in here I can take the weight off someone else”
Something like that. Just add value wherever you can.
Remember the advice: be know for getting sh*t done, and being clever. In that order.
Your contribution is valuable or they wouldn’t have you do it. Be proud of the work you’re doing!

The project is wrapping up in 2 days, I was pulled in and was drinking from the fire hose. No time to have additional meetings, every meeting is whole team

You are there for moral support, be that for couple of days
Sounds rough for everyone but yeah just do what you can to help with your limited background and then move on. Hopefully your stepping in for moral support will get at least a bit of appreciation.
