Trying to choose any non-disabled option from a select element

I have a parent record with multiple child records, all shown together on the ViewParentWithChildren and EditParentWithChildren screens. I want to write a cypress test that adds a new child record to an existing parent record. Each child record is in a <tr> of course.

The problem is, the <select> element has many <option disabled> invalid options in it. I need to select a valid, enabled one, and I don't know ahead of time what the names/values in that option are going to be. I don't care what they are, I just need to select any non-disabled option.

I try a standard-ish:

cy.contains('button', /Add Another Child Record/i).click();
cy.get('[name=child_id_name][value=""]')  // newly added has nothing in the required field
      .parents('tr')
      .within(tr => {
        cy.get('input[name=child_id_name]').type(randomAlpha());
        cy.get('input[name=description]').type(randomAlpha());
        cy.get('select[name=type]').select(?????);  // TODO
      });

Cypress only allows selecting an <option> via name, value, or index. Attempting to .select a valid <option> directly doesn't work, by design.

Here's a couple of other ways you may or may not find easier

Example page for POC

<select>
  <option value="1" disabled>three</option>
  <option value="2">two</option>
  <option value="3" disabled>three</option>
  <option value="4">four</option>
</select>

Method 1: Expose the <select> first

cy.get('select')
  .should('have.value', '2')  // by default the selected value is the first enabled
  .then($select => {
    cy.wrap($select)
      .find('option:enabled:last')
      .then($lastEnabledOption => {
        cy.wrap($select).select($lastEnabledOption.val())
      })
  })
  .should('have.value', '4')  // check new value

Method 2: Set the selected attribute with jQuery

cy.get('select')
  .should('have.value', '2')          // initial value
  .find('option:enabled:last')
  .invoke('attr', 'selected', true)

cy.get('select')
  .should('have.value', '4')          // new value

The solution was kind of inside-out. Get all non-disabled options from that select first, then go within one of them, and "escape hatch" back out again to the select, feeding the .text() to the .select

cy.contains('button', /Add Another Child Record/i).click();
cy.get('[name=child_id_name][value=""]')  // newly added has nothing in the required field
      .parents('tr')
      .within(tr => {
        cy.get('input[name=child_id_name]').type(randomAlpha());
        cy.get('input[name=description]').type(randomAlpha());
        cy.get('select[name=type] option:not([disabled])') // get all its non-disabled options
          .last() // the first option is usually blank for un-selecting, so, .last
          .within(option => {
            cy.root().closest('select').select(option.text());
          });
      });
