How many miles are on the car?
How often was the oil changed? Nissan/Infiniti are very high-tech motors and rely on oil pressure to be operate.
I see this scenario often when people do not change the oil in the car.

Who did a compression test? How about oil consumption test? Was the work performed at a Nissan dealer? Which dealer was the vehicle purchased at?
Not when it was changed last. . .How often was it changed?

I'm kinda lost never heard of bad compression causing a car to shut down coming to a stop then restart. If it had bad compression it would be missing more then anythinge. Oil light coming on is probably due to it stalling/lower rpms when she comes to a stop. All 4 cylinders came up with no compression or just low ?
Honestly sounds more like an air leak or vacuum leak to me.
How many miles since the rebuild or no idea ?
Any more info on the problem. Drives fine just stalls ?
