thru is _really_ common and a generally accepted informal
for through so I suggest this not be changed.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/thru
preposition, adverb, adjective
an informal, simplified spelling of through.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thru
While never extremely common, tho and thru have a long history of
occasional use as spelling variants of though and through.

Their greatest popularity occurred in the late 19th and early 20th 
centuries, when their adoption was advocated by spelling reformers. 
Their current use occurs chiefly in informal writing (as in personal 
letters) and in some technical journals.
