"Is such a vault legal? "

You definitely are not allowed to have traps in your house with the intention of hurting potential thieves. So definitely no bear traps etc.

Permanent ink would probably still fall under that category. And below that it becomes grey area.

You are probably not a bank, so not the same rules apply.

That depends on the state in the US. Stand Your Ground and Castle doctrine make it substantially less clear.

Less clear, maybe, but as far as I understand the various regulations, they all refer to personal self defense. So to protect yourself from harm, you may use (deadly) force.

That would not apply to protecting your vault from theft, by using physical - automated - violence against the thief.
