In WWII the stated goal was "unconditional surrender". And they got there.

What exactly is the war aim here?

I think we can agree the Houthi are a bad lot and need to be stopped from interfering with world trade. And stopping them is a worthwhile goal, unlike some of the messes the US military gets in these days.

But what specifically is the goal militarily? I'm not asking for operational details, just what's supposed to happen when it's over?

Over? Or just keep it going as long as possible?

Negotiation of terms perhaps? Pay them to stop?

They must sleep on a bed somewhere.
